Parking and Drop off

For the safety of our staff and our students, please DO NOT use the staff parking area or the bus lane for student drop off or pick up. Doing so creates a hazard for all. We thank you in advance for your support with this. Parking is available along 58 st, 93a ave, 92b Ave and in the Ottewell community league across 93a ave. The first week will be busy so please give yourself enough time to drive safely through our community.

Construction Update

The 94 Avenue and 58 Street intersection will be closed for construction for approximately two weeks, with a detour in place as shown on the attached Traffic Accommodation Plan (TAP). Following the two-week closure, the intersection will be reopened by relocating the construction fencing to the east side of the intersection.

Construction activities will then continue along 94 Avenue between 58 Street and 54 Street.

Once school resumes on September 2, no hauling activities will occur during restricted hours. Traffic access along 93A Avenue at St. Brendan School will be reopened by September 2 and will remain open throughout the 94 Avenue Low Impact Development (LID) construction work.

First Day of School

Upon arrival to school on the morning of the 2nd, we invite our elementary students to please make their way to the school field where our class lists and homeroom teachers will be located. Our elementary teachers will be wearing vests to ensure high visibility and additional staff will be on hand to help students. Our Junior High students are invited to make their way through the main entrance into the building, where class lists will be available for them. Once JH students find their homeroom, we invite students to make their way to their homeroom teachers classroom. Kindergarten students will have staggered entry for the first week of school, and further information to our kindergarten families will be provided by Mrs. Deprato.

The first bell rings at 8:30 AM

Our office staff will also be available to help families troubleshoot and navigate our 2026-2027 start-up. All our junior high classes will be with their homeroom teachers for the morning on first day of school. Students will follow their regular schedule in the afternoon.

Edmonton Catholic Schools recognizes the freedom of all members of the school community (students, staff, parents and neighbours) to voice their concerns in an appropriate manner to the appropriate school personnel. The principle of “first contact” in such circumstances where a person has a concern, has the responsibility to begin with addressing the concern directly with those persons with whom they have the concern. If resolution is not found, please involve school administration.
