    School Philosophy

     At Meyokumin School, everyone in our school community has the right to learn and work in an environment that is respectful, safe, healthy and focused on learning and success. In order to preserve these rights, students have the responsibility to participate actively and productively in all situations. Conduct throughout the school must be appropriate so that all class members and teachers may concentrate on the tasks they are performing. We believe that both home and school share the responsibility for teaching appropriate and acceptable behaviour. By working together, we can ensure positive student conduct.

Registration for 2025-2026

Pre-enrolment and Registration for the 2025-26 school year opens on February 3, 2025. Pre-enrolment for current EPSB students will continue to indicate their school choice for next year through SchoolZone.

If you are registering for Kindergarten or are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online. 

For the 2024 - 2025 school year, Meyokumin School is full in planned classes in Grades 1 and 5 in the regular program AND all grades in the Cogito program. We will no longer accept enrolment requests for Kindergarten to Grade 6 in the Cogito program. For the mainstream program, we will now only accept resident students in Grades 1 and 5 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.

 

Cogito Open House for 2025-26 School Year

On Tuesday, February 4th, we hosted our Cogito Open House. During our presentation, we shared information on the registration process for Cogito Kindergarten and steps to take if you are planning to pre-enrol your grade 1-6 child in Cogito for the 2025-26 school year. If you missed our Open House, you can access it here.

A reminder that the following criteria are taken into consideration during the registration process for our Cogito program:

  • First, resident students from our designated attendance area are provided access to registration in the Cogito Program at Meyokumin School during pre-enrolment from February 3 - March 19, at 4:00 pm.
  • Next, siblings of current students who are returning to the school the following year are considered for access during pre-enrolment
  • We can accept resident students outside the attendance area if there is space
  • We will use the random selection process if the number of applicants exceeds the available space

If you have any questions about the registration process, please connect with us at meyokumin@epsb.ca 

 

Submit your child’s absence in SchoolZone

On March 14th, you can start using SchoolZone to report when your child will be absent from school. This new feature is optional for Division schools, and our school is excited to participate.

On your mobile phone or desktop computer, enter your child’s absence starting a week before it occurs or up to the day they are absent.

Sign in to SchoolZone, choose the Student Profile menu and then Attendance to enter an absence.

If you prefer to call the school to report an absence, you can continue to do so.

 

Principal Message

WELCOME TO MEYOKUMIN SCHOOL

Welcome to Meyokumin School! On behalf of our staff, I want to welcome every family into our school community. The staff at our school are committed and dedicated to working with families so that each student can achieve their personal best. We take pride in having a safe and respectful environment for our students, staff, and anyone entering our school.

Our school has an outstanding reputation for its commitment to learning and academic excellence. We constantly look for ways to ensure our students have the best opportunity to learn and grow into healthy, successful citizens. 

We also strongly believe that parental involvement positively impacts student success at school. We ask all parents to take an active role in their child’s education by supporting reading at home, attending school events, ensuring that homework is completed on a daily basis, and checking SchoolZone regularly for class and school updates.  Research has shown conclusively that, when families take an interest in education, students are likely to achieve well in school.  Through the efforts of our entire school community, we can support our students in developing their own unique skills and talents and prepare them for a life of continued success!

If you have any inquiries about our school, please do not hesitate to contact our school office. 

Mr. Craig Hughson, M.Ed.

Principal

 

Cogito Kindergarten Registrations for 2025-26

MEETINGS FOR SUCCESS: February 19, 24, and March 13

All Kindergarten applicants interested in the Cogito Program must participate in a 'Meeting for Success.'

  • This is an opportunity for prospective students to engage in age-appropriate tasks presented in a Cogito setting while being observed by the teachers
  • School Administration will use the evidence and observations collected during the 'Meeting for Success' to engage parents in a conversation about the child's readiness for the program's expectations and demands
  • These meetings are an essential way to connect with our new families and students, and this connection is vital to student success in the Cogito program

For your child to attend our Meeting for Success, they must be registered for Kindergarten at our school (registration opens on Feb. 1st). In February, someone from our admin team will reach out via email to inform you of your scheduled meeting date/time. Note that your child may only be registered at one school and therefore attend only one Meeting for Success.
