Current ECSD students: Intentions for the 2022-23 School Year
Returning ECSD Students
Pre-enrolment for students already attending an ECSD school began on Monday, February 28. You are now able to log onto the PowerSchool parent portal and select your preferred school for the 2022-2023 school year using the “Intentions for Next Year” icon.
All students currently in our Division will need to declare their intentions regardless if they are staying with their current school or transitioning into kindergarten, junior high, or high school.
This pre-enrolment process for returning students will close on Thursday, March 17 to allow our schools time to plan for staffing, class sizes, and programming for the new school year. If your plans change after March 17, you can always contact your school to change your school selection.
Online Learning Options
Edmonton Catholic Schools believes the best learning happens inside the classroom. We hope to welcome the majority of students back to in-person learning in September.
For families wanting to continue online for the 2022-2023 school year, you may register with Genesis Catholic Online Elementary/Junior High School or St. Joseph Catholic Online High School. Online learning will be offered for Grades 1 – 12 and will require a full-year commitment.
Planning for the New School Year
The pre-enrolment process for returning students is key in helping us understand how many students to expect at our schools and sites for September 2022. If you have any questions about the process or need help navigating PowerSchool, do not hesitate to contact your current principal or visit our click here for a tutorial. Thank you for choosing Edmonton Catholic Schools.
