    Welcome

    Thank you for visiting John A. McDougall School's home website. We are so pleased to welcome all our new and returning families to John A. McDougall School this year. We are very proud of our students, families and staff at John A. McDougall and welcome the opportunity to share our school with you. 

    Literacy is a strong focus at John A. McDougall School. It is our goal to ensure that all students have 21st century literacy skills that will enable them to have a successful future with many choices open to them. We want students to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, collaborative team members, excellent communicators and digital learners. Along with a strong focus on academics, student learning is enriched through many field trips, hands on activities and special events such as artists-in-residence, author visits and cultural and theatrical performances. 

    At John A. McDougall School we have many community partners. Our All in for Youth team consists of a Family Therapist, Roots and Wings worker, Big Brothers Big Sisters Coordinator and access to a school nurse and nutritionist. Students receive a daily snack and lunch. We have a number of school wide events and after school programs made possible through our partnerships with All in For Youth and Alberta Immigrant Women and Children Centre. 

    John A. McDougall is a Kindergarten to grade six school located an area close to the city center. Our school is a multicultural hub with majority of students coming to us with a variety of languages. John A. McDougall School works closely with the City Centre Catchment Schools, a variety of community agencies, and with support from our All in for Youth team we support children and families in our community. We strive to offer a comprehensive literacy model school where multi-tiered intervention allows us to support all students in an inclusive school environment.

For the 2024 - 2025 school year, John A. McDougall School is full in planned classes from Kindergarten to Grade 6 in 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.

 

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