    Applying after March 22, 2024 may limit your options to schools with available space. Learn more about registration dates and deadlines.

    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 2023-2024 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 Parents and Students to another school year. My Name is Mr. Lakusta and I am the principal of this incredible learning community, Michael A. Kostek.  Our current enrolment is 590 students and in the initial weeks of school,  the energy and excitement levels have been amazing.  

As a staff we have spent the days leading up to our opening, planning for the arrival of all of our students. As with every year, we welcome new students and families to our school and strive to make them feel welcome and expose them to everything that makes MAK great. As this is my first year with all of you, I already feel an overwhelming connection and have found myself pausing and smiling at the strong community roots that are here. 

For our families and students that already have a deep history with us, it was so moving for me as the school principal, to hear the depth of understanding that our entire staff have for the children and how well thought out classroom placements and establishment of learning plans has been to set all students up for success. 

Lastly, I would like to share a purpose statement that the entire staff wrote, as I feel it gives a small sense of the commitment and dedication of this team.  

"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. "

Let's have a fantastic year together!

Anton Lakusta
Principal
