PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

It is my privilege to be the principal of Shauna May Seneca, a vibrant school serving students from kindergarten through grade nine in southeast Edmonton.  As a school, we strive to be a caring, welcoming, and inclusive environment committed to honouring the values of community and diversity, both of which were exemplified by the work of our school’s namesake.

At Shauna May Seneca we celebrate the uniqueness of each student.  We work diligently to enable all of our students to achieve their full potential, both as learners as well as leaders equipped to contribute to their communities.  Our effectiveness in reaching our goal is enhanced through strong partnerships with our families and community organizations.  Through focused collaboration and investing in relationships, we hope to inspire our students to develop their skills, discover their passions and achieve their dreams.

We are excited about the growth we will see in our students this year and look forward to building an even stronger community.  Welcome to our school!  

Dan Vandermeer

Principal

NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION

A student registering at Shauna May Seneca School must meet the criteria of living within our designated area and must be a resident. A student is considered a resident of Edmonton Public Schools if they have at least one parent who lives in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic. If the student you are registering meets these criteria for the 2024-2025 school year and is new to Edmonton Public Schools Visit the Division website to learn how to register for school.

Lottery process at Shauna May Seneca School

For the 2024/2025 school year in Grades Kindergarten, 2, 3, 5, and 6, we are now full and will no longer be able to accept any new enrolment requests for the 2024-2025 school year. 

Edmonton Public Schools reviews enrolment and programs at all schools in our Division each fall to monitor growth and see where schools are on the Division’s Growth Control Model. After carefully reviewing our enrolment this fall, Edmonton Public Schools has determined our school is in a lottery process for new resident students enrolling at our school for the 2024–25 school year. This will not impact current students who attend our school.

The school will not accept new registrations from families in the attendance area if the student is not a resident of Edmonton Public Schools. A student is considered a resident of Edmonton Public Schools if they have at least one parent who lives in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.

Resident students who aren’t selected through the lottery process can attend the overflow designated schools, Grace Martin (K-6), Edith Rogers (7-9), a school with space in planned classes, or remain at their current school, if applicable.

2025-2026 Update

To help address enrolment growth, Shauna May Seneca has a lottery process for new students enrolling for the 2025–26 school year. This only impacts new resident* students living in the designated attendance area who wish to enrol in a grade that does not have space in planned classes. Students who are currently enrolled at Shauna May Seneca or who wish to enrol in a grade with space in planned classes are not impacted. 

*A resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.

LOTTERY PROCESS ONCE PRE-ENROLMENT CLOSES

Pre-enrolment closes at 4 p.m. on March 19. In April, the school will call the families of new resident students about the lottery results. 

  • If selected in the lottery, new resident students can attend the school. 
  • If not selected in the lottery, new resident students can:
    • attend their overflow designated school or choose to enrol at a Level 1 school with space in planned classes (siblings may also enrol at the overflow designated school), and,
    • request to be placed on a callback list if spaces open up until the last school day before pre-enrolment begins next school year.     

ENROLLING AT AN OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOL OR OTHER DIVISION SCHOOL

We will help resident families who were not selected in the lottery process enrol at their overflow designated school, Grace Martin (K-6), Edith Rogers (7-9). If families choose to go to another Edmonton public school, they will need to call or email their preferred school to see if there is space in planned classes.

Siblings will also be able to attend the overflow designated school, but if families choose to go to another Division school with space in planned classes, siblings are not guaranteed to attend.

REGISTRATION AFTER MARCH 19

Resident students who move into a Level 3 school’s attendance area for the 2025–26 school year after pre-enrolment closes on March 19 can be added to the bottom of the callback list. Students can attend their overflow designated school, another Edmonton Public school with space in planned classes, or remain at their current school.

 

TRANSPORTATION TO OVERFLOW DESIGNATED SCHOOLS

Yellow bus service to Grace Martin will be available for eligible K–6 students. Bus fees will apply.

Students who require yellow bus service must apply before June 1, 2025. Important information and application forms can be found on the Applying for Yellow Bus Service page on epsb.ca.  

 

Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) is the preferred transportation method for junior high and high school students; however, if ETS is not available, eligible students attending their overflow designated school may be able to apply for yellow bus service.
