New Student Registration for 2026-27(Feb 2-March 25)
Enrollment for new students for the 2026/27 school years opens Feb. 2 at 8am and will close March 25 at 4pm. We are NOT able to accept registration prior to Feb. 2.
If your child is new to Edmonton Public Schools, you can register for school online. Visit the Division website to learn how to register for school.
Children who are five years old on or before December 31, 2026 (born in 2021) may register in Kindergarten for the 2026-27 school year.
For the 2026-2027 school year, Soraya Hafez will be a level 2 school with open boundaries on EPSB’s Growth Control Model.
Spaces in planned classes will be allocated in this order:
- attendance area students (McConachie South) will be guaranteed a spot provided they register during pre enrolment and provide necessary documentation
- resident secondary attendance area students (McConachie North) will be accommodated if space remains in planned classes
- other resident students regardless of address (must have one non Roman Catholic parent residing in Edmonton)
- other students (Roman Catholic parents or out of Edmonton address)
We will consider pre-enrolment requests of resident students outside of our primary attendance area in order to balance class numbers provided that there is space. If the number of students who want to attend the school exceeds the available space, new applicants are chosen by random selection.

CURRENT DIVISION STUDENTS PRE-ENROL
You will need to pre-enrol on SchoolZone to tell us the school you’d like your child to attend next year. Find important dates and deadlines and learn more about pre-enrolment, which opens at 8 a.m. on February 2.
Monitoring as a Level 2 School
Soraya Hafez is monitoring as a Level 2 school beginning in the 2024-25 school year. As outlined in Division regulations, the only new students accepted to our school during pre-enrolment will be:
- Resident students who live within the attendance area. (South McConachie)
- Siblings of current students who will be returning to the school the following year.
- There may be some space available in select grades for those students residing in our secondary attendance area (McConachie North).
If the student you are registering or pre-enrolling meets one of these criteria for the 2024-2025 school year, please register them online (new to EPSB students) or pre-enrol through SchoolZone (existing EPSB students).
For the 2025 - 2026 school year, Soraya Hafez School is full in planned classes in Kindergarten to Grade 6 in the regular program. A Kindergarten student who is a resident and lives in the school's attendance area may still register as long as they are not previously registered at another school or in another school division. We will now only accept resident students in Kindergarten to Grade 6 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance area for the regular program. A resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic. Non-resident students can enrol in another Division school with space in planned classes.++
If you are registering for Kindergarten or are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.
