Full in Planned Classes - Kindergarten to Grade 6
For the 2026 - 2027 school year, Callingwood School is full in planned classes from 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. We will only accept resident students in Grades 1 to 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.
Yellow Bus Fees Increasing 2026-27
Yellow Bus Fees Increasing in 2026–27
Starting in September 2026, fees to ride the yellow bus to school will increase.
The costs to operate buses and hire drivers continue to increase, along with student enrolment. In order to provide the level of service students and families rely on, the Board of Trustees approved a three-year plan in 2025 to phase in transportation fee increases. The increase in September is the second in a three-year plan.
