READY, SET, KINDERGARTEN

Ready, Set Kindergarten is a “way of welcoming” our new Kindergarten students in May/June 2023, that allows them to connect to people, to their environment and to playful learning with a sense of curiosity and joyful anticipation of their future school community. Each child will receive a book and a bag of materials. Families will be contacted directly by your principal/Kindergarten teachers via a letter/email with specific times for your child’s Ready, Set Kindergarten event. This event usually takes place in late May or June.

 

KINDERGARTEN GRADUAL ENTRY

Gradual Entry into Kindergarten provides children with a smoother transition as they make the adjustment into a full day of school. Kindergarten children will be welcomed into their new school at the beginning of September by their classroom teachers in small groups and for shorter periods of time, gradually increasing their time to a full day with the whole class in attendance. Students will have the opportunity to get to know their teacher as well as some classmates, classroom routines and meet staff from the school. You will be contacted directly by your principal/Kindergarten teacher via a letter/email with assigned attendance dates and specific times for your child’s gradual entry for September.
