What to Wear

Dismissal and Communication with Home

Students are dismissed at the end of the day outside by the Kindergarten gate to a designated parent / guardian. If someone else is picking up your child, that needs to be communicated to us or the office for your child to go home with them. Please make sure to let us know if your child will be taking the school bus to and from school, or if they are taking a Daycare Bus.

Each student will receive a Zippy bag which we send home each day. This bag will hold any important notes, letters and schoolwork. There will also be a communication book inside to communicate important information between school and home. Please return it every day!

What To Expect The First Day

What to Bring

The first day can bring feelings of excitement and nervousness. Check out the section titled Getting Ready for Kindergarten for some great ideas and tips on how to prepare your child for Kindergarten.

The week before: Make sure your child has a backpack big enough to fit a lunch, a water bottle, and a zippy (this will be handed out the first day). Pack a labelled ziplock bag with extra clothes (socks, underwear, pants, shirt), and a pair of indoor labelled shoes (velcro, not laces please!).

The day before: Make sure that your child has clothes picked out, and gets a good night sleep!

The morning of: Pack your child's lunch and water bottle into the backpack, and head to school for around 8:30. If driving, you will need to give yourself extra time to park off school site (there is no parking at the back of the school, and the front spots fill up quickly).

Bring your child around to the back of the school where the gated playground is.
Check with a teacher to find out which classroom your child is in. They will receive a coloured necklace telling them which classroom door they line up at.
Let your child's teacher know how they are getting home at the end of the day (who is picking them up, are they taking the bus /daycare)

Remain cheerful and let your child know who will be there to pick them up at the end of the school day. Remind them about the exciting new things they will learn and take some time to greet or talk to the educators together. We anticipate a great start for everyone but we acknowledge the changing landscape that we are all experiencing due to COVID 19. Should anything change we will keep you up to date.
