    REGISTRATION

    For the 2023 - 2024 school year, Lorelei School is full in planned classes in Grades 1, 3 and 6 in the regular program. We will now only accept resident students in Grades 1, 3 and 6 who 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 enrol in another Division school with space in planned classes.

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

    NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION

    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. 


     
    Lorelei is a closed boundary school. As outlined in Division regulations, the only new students accepted to our school during pre-enrolment are:
    1. Resident students who live within the attendance area.
    2. Siblings of current students who will be returning to the school the following year.
    If you require further information, please contact the school office.

    School Philosophy

    At Lorelei School we believe that learning is a life-long process in which the school, the parents and the community need to work in partnership to ensure the development of responsible citizens. We believe that all students are capable of learning and need to be challenged at their own level, with a focus on personal growth and achievement. We believe in providing a safe and caring environment by establishing specific expectations for learning and behavior.

Principal's Message

Welcome to the new school year!  I love this time of year; so many things to look forward to, so much learning and growing to be accomplished.  It is ripe with expectation and excitement; from the shiny floors to the joy of carrying a new backpack filled with treasures to help the year be successful.  What could be more wonderful?  I look forward to journeying with each and every one of the students and their families throughout the year.  Please feel free to contact me at any time by coming into the school, by phone @ 780-456-4488 or by email at michelle.korchinski@epsb.ca.

I am pleased to announce that we have 10 new teachers joining our team this year; Mrs. Amanda Malloy: Kindergarten, Mrs. Kelsey Kirchner: Grade 1, Mrs. Andrea Lawrence: Grade 2, Miss Camille Quilala: Grade 2, Mrs. Andrea Abielmouna: Grade 4, Mr. Ben Workman: Grade 5, Ms. Maggie Fezekas: Grade 5, Ms. Kelly Burns: Grade 6, Ms. Lauren Ackerman: Grade 6, and Ms. Tessa Owen: Music. We also have a new Assistant Principal, Mrs. Averi Pukalo, a new Library Technician, Mr. David Amrhein, a new Admin Assistant, Ms. Brittany Long and myself, your new principal, Mrs. Michelle Korchinski. All of us, along with the returning teaching, support, custodial, and Division staff, have been working extremely hard to ensure that everything is ready for your children as they walk through the doors.  We are committed to providing high-quality public education that serves the community and empowers each student to live a life of dignity, fulfillment, empathy and possibility. 

It is of utmost importance to us that we are connected and that you receive information in a timely fashion.  Accessing SchoolZone and/or the Seesaw app (stay tuned for more information) is an essential part of this as it is our main source of communication.   As such, we are committed to continually using these networks. Thank you in advance for logging on!  If you do not have a current username and password for SchoolZone, please contact the office and we will provide one for you.  

As I continue to learn about Lorelei’s community, it is very apparent that we have many family members volunteering their time to the school and we are so appreciative of their service. If you would like to invest some time and effort into our school in this capacity, please let us know.

For the safety of our students, please be aware that the speed limit within the playground zone is 30 km/h from 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. at ALL times and parking in designated parking areas, out of bus zones and the staff parking lot, will increase safety and decrease congestion.  As well, when you are walking your child across the street to the school, it is imperative that you use the crosswalks, as drivers are more likely to notice someone crossing in a crosswalk as opposed to the middle of the street.  I understand that this may not be the most convenient option, however it is the safest.  

You will soon find a copy of our Parent Handbook, Student Handbook, School Assessment Plan and Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook on the Lorelei website lorelei.epsb.ca and SchoolZone.  These documents contain a great deal of information, calendar dates, procedures and expectations.  We ask that all parents read and review these with their child(ren) early in the year to reinforce expectations.
