If this has been your first experience with school here is some information you may have been wondering about:

  • There are no more parent/teacher conferences. There is no Kindergarten graduation, we do a picnic at Bower Ponds at the end of the year. All Kindergarten students will get a report card on June 29.

  • You are already registered for grade 1. You have filled out an intention form indicating if your child was staying or leaving the school for next year. If you were undecided and now know what you will be doing please let the school know.

  • For information and to be kept up to date on things happening at the school it is best to go to the Oriole Park website, the newsletter is also published there each month and will also have information. There is meet the teacher night before school starts (this will be on the website when a date has been determined). You will find out who your child’s teacher is on Meet the Teacher Night.

  • I will be taking the students down to the grade 1 classes to check out the classrooms and show them the door and bathrooms they will be using.

  • The students from the morning and afternoon will be mixed for grade 1. Your child will be with some classmates they know. If they are not with their “best friend(s)” that is ok too because it gives them an opportunity to meet other children. They will also see their friends from other classes throughout the day.

  • Classes and teachers have not been confirmed with us yet.

Please check the website and read the newsletters from the school as those are the best ways to keep up to date on what is happening.
