  • STUDENT REGISTRATION

    John D Bracco School is at a "Level 2 Closed Boundary School and is now FULL IN ALL PLANNED CLASSES. Please call the school if you have any questions. 

    Some District schools are experiencing such high demand for space that they have closed boundaries.

    For the 2024 - 2025 school year, John D Bracco School is full in planned classes in Grades 7 to 9 in 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 enrol in another Division school with space in planned classes.

    New to the Division?

    If you are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you can  register online or come to the school in person.

    Need help using the digital student registration form? Submit a request to get help or call (780) 429-8210.

    **CONFIRMING NEW REGISTRATION SUBMISSION**

    Once you have submitted your digital student registration form and included the supporting 4 - 7 documents, we will review all of the documents and reach out to you. This does not mean your child has been enrolled at the school—we will contact you to let you know if your child is enrolled.

  • WHAT IS HAPPENING AT JDB

    WHAT IS HAPPENING AT JDB

    Arc Cards 

    We are excited to announce that the ARC Card program is being introduced for our students at John D Bracco! What this means, is that for our ETS students, rather than having a paper bus pass, they will be given a plastic ARC Card that is reloadable every month!

    As we roll out this program, we would request that if you would like to purchase your child's bus pass online, please call Mrs. Morton, or email her at melissa.s.morton@epsb.ca, so that she may register the ARC card to your child's SchoolZone account, and then add the fee to their account.

    Please check out SchoolZone for a step by step guide.


    Student Drop Off and Parking

    With the new road construction and changes that have happened within Hairsline community, please be mindful and respectful of those that live in the condominium across from the school. Please do not park within their parking lot by using it as a drop off or pick up. Police will be notified. 

    Please reframe from using the round-about that is used for the Yellow buses who are dropping off -picking up our students as they have others school that they need to get to. This would cause a huge delay for them.  

    Also please do not use the staff parking lot as a drop off-pick up as we have teachers arriving throughout the morning to get into their parking stalls.

     


    Taste of Bracco 

    On Thursday May 9th, Taste of Bracco was held with tremendous turnout. This is a display of our communities different cultures. Students can sample and showcase some food, art and all that our melting pot of cultures has to offer. Thank you to our families and community who proudly put themselves and taught us a small part of their cultures.
