Community

Located in Southeast Mill Woods, south of 23rd Avenue and East of 50th street, T. D. Baker has been at the heart of this community for nearly 30 years.

Centered within Southwood Community League, T. D. Baker has 3 nearby elementary schools: Crawford Plains, Daly Grove, and Pollard Meadows.  These schools are our "feeders, " and in the normal course of events, students attending these schools will move on to T. D. Baker.

In turn, students who attend T.D. Baker and live within our boundary area will be directed to W. P. Wagner High School.

T. D. Baker, W. P. Wagner and the local elementary schools are part of the same "Catchment Area," and have common Professional Development (PD) days, to ensure curricular alignment and a smooth progression through school from Kindergarten through grade 12 for all students.

Overflow school for Svend Hansen School for 2024–26

As of July 1, 2024, TD Baker School will be one of the overflow designated schools for the Svend Hansen School Laurel West attendance area. This will not affect any students currently attending our school. 

Laurel West families

New resident students who newly move into the Laurel West neighbourhood can attend Svend Hansen School if the school is not full in that grade. If the grade is full, the student can:

• attend Daly Grove (K–6) or T. D. Baker (7–9) schools, or
• attend another Division school with space in planned classes, or
• remain at their current school.

All Laurel West students currently enrolled in Kate Chegwin and Weinlos schools may continue to attend their current schools until their program is completed.

For TD Baker,  Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) is the preferred transportation method for junior high students. If ETS is not available, eligible students attending their overflow designated school may be able to apply for yellow bus service. Bus fees will apply.

Families who choose to attend another Division school rather than an overflow designated school will need to make their own transportation arrangements to get their child to and from school.
