  • Grade 1
  • Grade 2
  • Grade 5
  • Grade 6

We are only able to accept resident students in these grades if their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) have newly moved into Nellie Carlson School’s primary attendance area, and only if the corresponding grade at George H. Luck School is also full.

Non-resident students may enrol in another Edmonton Public School with space in planned classes.

George H. Luck School Overflow Process

George H. Luck School uses a lottery process to help manage enrolment growth and limited space.

If George H. Luck School does not have space for your child, families may:

  • Attend the overflow designated school, Nellie Carlson School
  • Choose to enrol at a Level 1 school with space in planned classes
  • Request to be placed on a callback list if space becomes available

The callback list remains active until the last school day before pre-enrolment begins for the next school year.


Enrolling at an Overflow Designated School or Another Division School

George H. Luck School will help resident families who were not selected in the lottery process enrol at their overflow designated school, Nellie Carlson School.

Families may also choose to enrol at another Edmonton Public School with space in planned classes by contacting that school directly.

Siblings may also attend the overflow designated school. However, if families choose another Division school with available space, sibling placement is not guaranteed.


Transportation to Overflow Designated Schools

Yellow bus service to Nellie Carlson School is available for eligible K–6 students. Bus fees apply.

Students who require yellow bus service must apply before June 1, 2026.

Important information and application forms can be found on the EPSB website:

Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) is the preferred transportation option for junior high and high school students. If ETS is not available, eligible students attending their overflow designated school may be able to apply for yellow bus service.
