Dear Kindergarten families,

We are finished our third week already! Our KG students are starting to settle in to their routines and getting to know all of their classmates. Our transition reports will be sent out via SeeSaw in October. This focuses on students social and emotional development and gives students time to build on and develop these skills.

Our kiss and ride procedures in the morning have been really smooth and we appreciate your support to help us alleviate the busy parking and traffic. Seeing the students building their independence and proudly walking to class themselves is a great start to any morning!

It has been so wonderful getting to know our parent community over the past few weeks with some really enriching discussions on student well-being. Thank you to all of the parents who attended our parent night, met with teachers and engaged in some informative Q&A sessions.

Here’s to an exciting week four as we begin our first Unit of Inquiry!

Warmest Regards,

Niamh Callanan

KG1 students have had a smooth transition into school. We have been learning about how to make good choices throughout the school day by following our class essential agreements.

KG2C have had so much fun in our first few weeks of school. We have made so many new friends, learned new routines, discussed how to make good decisions and are learning how to be principled, responsible and open-minded little Superstars!! Ms. Laura is so proud of us all! 😊
