  • 2025 - 2026 School Year

    Schools start accepting New Student registrations for the next school year on February 3, 2025.

    Visit the new student registration page on epsb.ca to learn more.

    Applying after March 19, 2025 may limit your options to schools with available space. Learn more about registration dates and deadlines.

    Children who are five years old on or before December 31, 2025 may register in Kindergarten for the 2025–26 school year.

    MAK Announcement February 23, 2024 - Transitioning to Level 2 

    As space becomes more of a factor at Michael A. Kostek, we are beginning to move closer to Level 2 status in the EPSB Growth Control model which would eventually limit only resident students in attendance area, siblings of students or students already attending MAK to enrol with us. However as we are not yet officially transitioning to that status, we will still consider pre-enrolment requests of resident students outside our boundaries in order to balance our class numbers provided that there is space.

    Michael A. Kostek is full in planned classes in the regular program for the 2024-2025 School Year. 

    We will now only accept resident students from Kindergarten to Grade 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 if you are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.

Principal's Message

Welcome back parents and students! It's wonderful to kick off another exciting year here at Michael A. Kostek. As your principal, Mr. Lakusta, I'm thrilled to be part of this vibrant learning community with 569 students and counting. The energy is contagious, and I know this year will be filled with amazing achievements.

Our dedicated staff continually works to build a strong partnership with all our families and create a learning environment where every student feels valued and supported. We firmly believe that a collaborative approach between parents and school is key to unlocking each student's full potential.

It's always heartwarming to witness the deep connections our staff has with our students. The thoughtful planning that goes into classroom placements and individualized learning plans is a testament to our commitment to fostering a kind and supportive learning environment where everyone can thrive.

At the heart of our school is our shared purpose statement, crafted by the entire staff: "We are on an inclusive, collaborative journey. Together we will empower each other to be risk-takers and critical thinkers. We will build resiliency and empathy in a safe and calm community." This statement reflects our dedication to nurturing courage and kindness in our students, qualities that will serve them well throughout their lives.

Here's to another fantastic year of learning, growth, and connection at Michael A. Kostek!

Anton Lakusta
Principal
