LOTTERY PROCESS at RIVERBEND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 2025-2026
Edmonton Public Schools reviews enrolment and programs at schools each fall to monitor growth and see where schools are on the Growth Control Model. After reviewing enrolment this fall, Edmonton Public Schools determined Riverbend Junior High School is a Level 3 school and is implementing a lottery process for new resident students enrolling at the school for 2025–2026. This will not impact current students who attend the school.
The school will not accept new registrations from families in the attendance area if the student is not a resident student of Edmonton Public Schools. A student is considered a resident of Edmonton Public Schools if they have at least one parent or legal guardian who lives in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.
Resident students who are not selected through the lottery process can attend their overflow designated school, Avalon Junior High School, a Division school with space in planned classes, or remain at their current school.
Siblings of current students attending the school
New resident students from the attendance area with a sibling who is returning to the school next year will get priority but are not guaranteed to attend.

Watch the Growth Control Model video for an overview of the lottery process. You can also read more about the lottery process on epsb.ca. If you have any other questions, please contact our school office at 780-434-7914.
