Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Belvedere School!

As your new incoming Principal, I am deeply honored to join this extraordinary school community. I look forward to working alongside you to educate, encourage, and nurture your children through an exciting, fun, and transformative year ahead.

At Belvedere, our vision is to cultivate a vibrant, inclusive learning community where wellness, belonging, and active engagement will inspire everyone to grow and thrive, shaping a brighter future.

To bring this vision to life, we are dedicated to creating a caring, safe, and welcoming environment where the unique gifts, strengths, and backgrounds of every child and staff member are acknowledged and celebrated. We see diversity as our greatest asset. By honoring who our students are, we foster a deep sense of belonging where every child feels proud of themselves, empowered to take learning risks, and ready to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

Education is a dynamic journey filled with discovery, achievements, and valuable learning moments. We strive to cultivate resilience and a growth mindset, helping our students view challenges not as obstacles, but as essential steps toward reaching their full potential.

We know that it truly takes a village to raise a child, and strong parent and community partnerships are the heart of student success. We view families as our most essential partners, and we are committed to building a true team around your child through open, honest communication built on mutual trust and respect. You are always welcome, and your voice, insights, and presence matter to us. Please stay connected with us through our website and SchoolZone, or feel free to reach out to our office directly at 780-476-2022 whenever you have questions, ideas, or feedback.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s educational journey. On behalf of our entire dedicated staff, I extend a warm welcome to all of our returning and new families. Let’s embark on a wonderful school year filled with deep learning, shared growth, laughter, and endless celebrations!

Warmly,

Kristi Howard

Principal, Belvedere School

Dear Parents/Guardians of Upcoming Kindergarten Students:

As you plan for your child to attend kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year, this is an ideal time to review your child’s immunization history. It is important to keep your
child’s immunizations up to date in order to prevent disease and to help keep them healthy.

Children are due for the following routine vaccine at 4 years of age:
• Diphtheria / Pertussis / Tetanus / Polio

This immunization is provided free of charge.

Immunization Records: any Albertan can submit immunization records, including out-of-province/country records at: Immunization record submission (alberta.ca)

Please call Health Link at 8-1-1 to book an appointment for your child.

Thank you,
AHS Public Health Immunization Team

Belvedere School is full in planned classes for 2026-2027 in Kindergarten and Grades 1 to 3

For the 2026-2027 school year, Belvedere School is full in planned classes in Full Day Kindergarten and Grades 1, 2 and 3 in the regular program. A Kindergarten student who is a resident and lives in the school's attendance area may still register. We will now only accept resident students in Grades 1, 2 and 3 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 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.
