Cogito Program Enrolment Priority

Dear parents,

Allendale School will give priority to all families living south of the river, west of Gateway Boulevard. If there is still room at the school once these families have been accommodated, the principal of Allendale School may hold a random selection for all remaining spaces in the program. Cogito Map

Edith Rogers School will give priority to all families living east of Gateway Boulevard and south of Whitemud Drive. If there is still room at the school once these families have been accommodated, the principal of Edith Rogers School may hold a random selection for all remaining spaces in the program. Cogito Map

Allendale or Edith Rogers Schools will use the following sequence to determine the enrolment priority for Grade 7 Cogito students:

1. Students seeking continuity of District Cogito programming who reside within the program enrolment boundary and the school’s attendance area

2. Students seeking continuity of District Cogito programming who reside within the program enrolment boundary

3. Students from within the school’s attendance area who are new to Cogito

4. All other students seeking continuity of District Cogito programming but who reside outside the program enrolment boundary.

5. Siblings (new to Cogito) of existing students, who reside outside the school’s attendance area

6. All other students.

Allendale is Full in Planned Classes for 2024-2025

For the 2024 - 2025 school year, Allendale School is full in planned classes in Grades 7 to 9 in the regular and Cogito programs. We will no longer accept enrolment requests for these grade levels in the Cogito program. For the regular program, we will now only accept resident students in Grades 7 to 9 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 enroll in another Division school with space in planned classes.

If you are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.

Principal's Message

Our administrative team members are:

Allison Watson (Assistant Principal), Elizabeth Fraser (Principal), and Amanda Payne (Curriculum Coordinator/Counselor)

It is my sincere honour and privilege to be the Principal of Allendale School. We are a welcoming, inspiring, and supportive learning staff team. We strive to support students and families to ensure a successful and safe learning environment for all.

Allendale School has a rich history of educational excellence that provides an environment for students to flourish academically and personally. We provide four programming opportunities for students: Regular Academic, Cogito Academic Alternative, German Bilingual, and Interactions. Each of these programs provides students with unique opportunities for learning.

We embrace our Fine Arts, Career and Technology Foundations, and Athletic programs as an integral part of our students’ program of studies. It is our primary goal to create a kind, caring, and respectful school community that honours diversity. We believe that all students should feel supported in their pursuit of excellence.

At Allendale, we are more than just a place of learning; we are a school family that believes in the potential of every student and is dedicated to helping them reach their dreams.

The information contained on this website is generic in nature and intended for families new to Edmonton. Families that are already a part of our Eagle family can find more detailed information on Schoolzone and on specific Google Classrooms.

Yours in partnership,

Mrs. Elizabeth Fraser
