Parents of these students can register by submitting a registration package including:

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year at Velma E. Baker.  Our school is named after Velma E. Baker, an amazing leader who was a respected Edmonton Public Schools custodian and CUPE Local 474 President.

Mrs. Baker was highly regarded and recognized for her charismatic people skills. She made significant contributions to the Edmonton Public School Division and positively influenced the lives of many students and staff. Mrs. Baker passed away in October 2017, but her spirit of kindness, diligence, perseverance and positivity live on in our school. 

This website provides parents with general information about our school. We use SchoolZone, a secure information system developed by Edmonton Public Schools, to communicate with families. It is designed to provide efficient access to information from school and is available anytime. Parents receive a password to this web portal to access classroom information, newsletters, progress reports, school programs and activities and much more. For specific information, parents are encouraged to contact their child’s teacher or our school office.
