Lottery process at Lillian Osborne School next year

Families of Grade 9 students in our school community may wish to know there will be a lottery process at Lillian Osborne School next 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 our Division’s Growth Control Model. After carefully reviewing enrolment this fall, Edmonton Public Schools has determined that Lillian Osborne School is at capacity and is implementing a lottery process for resident attendance area students who are new to the school and wish to enrol for the 2022–23 school year. This will only impact resident attendance area students who are new to Lillian Osborne School.

More information about the lottery process is available at epsb.ca/lotteryprocess or you can contact Lillian Osborne School at 780-391-2450. 

Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Students,

Esther Starkman School is a Kindergarten to Grade 9 school. We accept registrations from the Primary Attendance Area of Terwillegar Towne and if space is available from the Secondary Attendance areas of Terwillegar South West, Terwillegar South East and Leger.  Please view the attendance maps under the Parents / Registration tab to ensure you live within our area if you are planning on registering.

It is the mission of Esther Starkman School to “ensure high levels of learning for ALL of our students.” We want our students to think, problem solve and apply the knowledge they learn so that they are exceptionally well prepared to succeed in our ever changing world. To that end, our staff works as a professional learning community engaging in job embedded professional development on a weekly basis. Our teachers are learners themselves, constantly improving their instructional practices and collaborating to create a diverse and rewarding classroom experience.

Esther Starkman is a community school that places great value on creating positive relationships with our parent community. We believe education is a partnership between parents and the school, we therefore strive to provide parents with up to date and relevant information regarding their child’s learning. Daily, through SchoolZone/Goggle Classroom, our parents will receive all the information they require to participate in their child’s school experience.  

On behalf of the staff,  I welcome you to Esther Starkman School.  We hope that your experience at Esther Starkman is rewarding and will cause you to believe as we do, that this truly is a school of “Excellence!”

Sincerely,

Sunita Sas

Principal
