Welcome
to Kindergarten Program! |
Some feedback
from teachers and parents have included:
“This is a great idea. It helped
both of us a lot. We are still using everything.”
“Excellent idea to help parents understand what their
child should know before starting school.”
“My daughter felt proud having so many new things of her
own. She liked to cut and paste and read the book.”
In the spring
before starting kindergarten, three and four year old
children are given preparatory resources and experiences
to position them for school success and lifelong
learning. Parents/caregivers and
children are invited to attend a Welcome to
Kindergarten™ orientation at their neighborhood school
where they receive the early learning resources in the
Welcome to Kindergarten Bag and learn strategies for
using the resources at home. At the orientation,
families connect with kindergarten teachers, school
resource personnel and staff from community support
agencies. These early years educators provide training
on why family planned activity using the resources in
the Welcome to Kindergarten Bag will help their children
be better prepared for school and learning.

COMPLETED OUTDOOR NATURALIZATION PROJECTS: a concept in learning outdoors
Our amphitheatre was completed with the help of
many members of our school community. We are very grateful also to Shaw
Communications who provided a grant to help in this construction.
We look forward to using this facility throughout
the school year for various functions.
An additional accomplishment, with the assistance
of Artist Debra Bryan, was the completion of our Prayer Gathering
Circle. Each student created a special tile to represent themselves.
Many students and their families helped in the preparation of the ground
for this project. We thank everyone for leaving their special
fingerprint in this project.
