Velma E. Baker School is a closed boundary school for the 2022-2023 school year. This means the school is only able to accept new students who live in the school's attendance areas of Larkspur and Wildrose and who are resident students of Edmonton Public Schools. Parents of these students can register by submitting a registration package including:

  • a completed, signed Student Registration form
  • legal proof of the student's name and age, and
  • proof of address

Additional documentation may be required, including additional address documents, or immigration documents for students who are not Canadian citizens.

Welcome to the 2022-23 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.
