Principal's Message
2026-2027 School Registration:
Thanks to all the families who pre-enrolled by the March 25th deadline!
We’re happy to let you know that, based on available space, all students who registered or pre-enrolled before March 25th have been accepted. We look forward to seeing your family in the fall!
For the 2026 - 2027 school year, Laurier Heights School is full in planned classes in Kindergarten, Grade 5 and Grade 6 in the regular program AND Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 4 in the French immersion program. We will no longer accept enrolment requests for Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 4 in the French immersion program. For the regular program, we will now only accept resident students for Kindergarten, Grade 5 and Grade 6 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance area. 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.
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!
Hello and Bonjour!
It is with enthusiasm that I join the Laurier Heights School team.
Originally from northern Alberta, I am returning from Calgary to my Edmonton roots, moving closer to family, and joining the Edmonton Public School division.
Things I am looking forward to include coming to know our Laurier Heights Community, exploring the river valley, and being in attendance for mid-week family events. I am not looking forward to the winter, I’m going to miss those chinooks...
In June, I stopped by for a brief school visit. I noticed that people seem happy to be here. The students asked if I am an Oiler’s fan, and I assured them that yes, I am. That was definitely the right answer. This summer, I came across a picture book called “Noticing” by Kobi Yamada. This beautiful story of friendship invites us to get curious about what we see around us.
Noticing will be our theme for the year.
New to Edmonton Public and to Laurier Heights, I will ask many curious questions as I come to know the school and community. And, I invite you to tell me what you would like me to notice about you.
The first question I would invite us each to consider is:
-
What did I notice in the summer, away from the busy-ness of school?
We look forward to welcoming students on Tuesday, September 1.
Please save the date for Meet the Teacher on Wednesday, September 2 from 4:30-6:00pm.

With appreciation, merci beaucoup,
Aileen Smyth, Principal
