WHEN DOES MY CHILD START SCHOOL in Kindergarten ??

This is to clarify WHO comes to school on SEPT 6: 
We expect all Senior Kindergarten students to start school on Tuesday, Sept.6.  Students will line-up at the side of the school near the Kindergarten doors, where we will have colour-coded class lists posted. 

Junior K students who attend the EDP (school daycare) start regular attendance on Wednesday, Sept 7th.  
The remainder of the JK's  are expected to start on Thursday, Sept 8th, unless you were given a different date.  

Initially teachers will meet the buses to greet & escort our new JK's, so please send your child on the bus if that will be their regular method of arrival. (This helps develop the comfort level for this routine right from the start!)


Classes are divided by colour; RED, BLUE, GREEN, PURPLE. 

There will be lists posted for each class,
 indicated by colour.There will also be coloured "pylons" & frizbies to mark where each group lines-up.

Please do NOT leave your child at school any earlier than 8:15 - when a "duty-teacher" (wearing an orange/yellow vest) is present.
{*Daycare staff are ONLY responsible for their designated daycare students!}   
Please note: All JK bus students will be assigned to an older student from their bus (Gr. 5 or 6) to regularly escort them to the yard on a daily basis. They must hold hands while walking.

     

SAFETY FIRST!
Due to the lack of fencing around the yard, after Thursday, Sept. 8, we will be asking all parents to say "Good-Bye" to their child at the double-painted lines on the west-side of the school (beside the park). Staff will be enforcing this rule as a safety precaution to train students to identify any potential "stranger" in their midst on the yard.  Teachers and school staff are the only adults permitted on school property between 8:15am - 3:15pm. Thank you for your kind understanding in this regard.

We are looking forward to meeting all our Kindergarteners and starting the new 2016-2017 school year!  Enjoy your holiday weekend!
