WELCOME
Welcome to Athlone Elementary School.
WELCOME! Athlone is located in the Athlone Community and includes the Dunvegen Community to the west of the school. Our school is a working partnership between students, staff, parents, and the community. We are a student-centred school community committed to strong educational programs delivered in a supportive, nurturing, and safe environment. We believe that our school-wide focus on literacy in all subject areas will provide a strong foundation for students to attain their personal optimum levels of achievement across the curriculum.
We offer three educational programs at Athlone: Full Day Kindergarten, Regular Grade 1 - 6, and Behavior and Learning Assistance Program.
Pre-enrol in SchoolZone
Get ready for the 2022-23 school year! Sign in to your parent SchoolZone account between March 8 and April 14 to select your child’s preferred school for next year. If you're interested in online learning pre-enrol at Argyll Centre.
Whether your child is staying at the same school or changing schools, all students need to pre-enrol. Knowing how many students to expect helps schools prepare to welcome them in September.
If you need help, contact the school or read the pre-enrolment handout.
Moved?
Update your child’s current address with the school office before pre-enrolling in SchoolZone.
New to the Division?
Instead of using SchoolZone, students who are new to Edmonton Public Schools need to submit a completed Student Registration form. Find the form and list of supporting documents you need to provide.
Update for our school community
Athlone School is temporarily closed for repairs. Students and staff have relocated to Kensington School for the remainder of the 2021–22 school year.
Construction will begin in June and continue throughout the summer break. We plan to reopen Athlone School on September 1, 2022, in time to welcome students back for the first day of the 2022–23 school year.
Students who normally walk to Athlone School
Students who don’t normally take the bus and require transportation to and from Kensington School will be picked up and dropped off daily at Athlone School. Athlone staff will be at Athlone School to help students get on and off the bus safely and to ride the shuttle with students as they get used to their new routines.
- Pick up: Students will need to be at Athlone School by 8:15 a.m. for transportation to Kensington School.
- Drop off: Students will be dropped off at approximately 3:40 p.m. at Athlone School, and at approximately 12:25 p.m. for early dismissal on Thursdays.
