For the 2025/2026 school year only, registration for Grade 1 to Grade 5 students attending Coalbanks Elementary School, Mike Mountain Horse Elementary School, Nicholas Sheran Elementary School and West Coulee Station Elementary School will occur during an earlier registration period beginning on Jan. 20, 2025.
West Coulee Station Elementary School is scheduled to open in September of 2025, which has resulted in new westside school boundaries.

The registration process for these four westside schools will begin on Jan. 20, 2025, allowing the Division to better understand enrollment numbers in Grades 1 to 5 and plan staffing more effectively.
Registration for Grade 1 to Grade 5 students in all other schools across the Division will begin on March 3, 2025.
