Welcome to École Wîhkwêntôwin School

We are so pleased to let you know that in April 2024, our school received a new name: Wîhkwêntôwin School.

Wîhkwêntôwin is a Cree word that can be translated into English as ‘circle of friends’. Wîhkwêntôwin is pronounced we-kwen-to-win.

We are excited to share the same name as the community we call home!

NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION 2025-2026

If your child is new to Edmonton Public Schools, you can register for school online. Visit the Division website to learn how to register for school.

If you have any questions about registering for school, contact the school office, 780-488-1221.

For the 2025-2026 school year, École Wîhkwêntôwin School is full in planned classes in Grades 5 and 6 in the French Immersion program. We will no longer accept enrolment requests for these grade levels in this program. We continue to accept registrations for French Immersion Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, 3, and 4.

For the regular program, a Kindergarten student who is a resident and lives in the school's attendance area may still register. We will only accept resident students in Grades 1 to 6 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance area for the regular program. 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.

School Supply Lists will be available for the 2025-2026 school year in June on our school website.
