Kinderstart - Bon Départ

February 26, 2026

Good Morning Kinderstart Families,

We are happy to welcome you all back tomorrow, Friday, February 27th for our 2nd Kinderstart session. We are very excited to offer a quick music class for all our littlest learners on Friday. We will have guest presenters, Brittany Noseworthy and Teresita Murphy, Child Management Specialists with NL Health Services, along with our Service Delivery Department Head, Evis Loshi.

Please remember to change from your outdoor clothing in the cafeteria and head over to the library. As we did in our last session, the Kindergarten team will come to collect the Kinderstart students. 

Your session will be the same time as it was for our first session. If you can't remember your time, please check with the fabulous Ms. Morgan (lisamorgan@nlschools.ca) who will be able to help :)

Your child will need a snack again for tomorrow's session. As a reminder, we have allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, fish, eggs, and sesame (including hummus made with tahini). Please refrain from sending these items to our Kinderstart sessions. We are also a scent-aware school and ask that you not wear any scented products into the building.

The doors will open for families 5 minutes before each scheduled start time. When the session is over, we kindly ask that you exit the building as soon as possible to avoid congestion in our main foyer. As always, for the safety and comfort of our other students, all families must remain in the library, cafeteria, and main foyer areas.

As a reminder, our 3 sessions are scheduled as follows:

• 8:45 - 10:00 - English A, English B, French A

• 10:30 - 11:45 - English C, English D, French B 

• 1:00 - 2:15 - English E, English F, French C

Have a wonderful day,

Tammy & Heidi

Good afternoon Kinderstart families!

We're so happy to welcome our new friends to Beachy Cove Elementary. In preparation for Kindergarten, Beachy Cove Elementary will be offering four KinderStart/Bon Départ sessions.

The four sessions are scheduled for:

Friday, January 30th

Friday, February 27th

Friday, March 27th

Friday, April 24th

Our first KinderStart/Bon Départ will be this coming Friday, January 30th. All sessions will be 1 hour and 15 minutes in duration. The sessions will run as follows:

• 8:45 - 10:00 - English A, English B, French A

• 10:30 - 11:45 - English C, English D, French B 

• 1:00 - 2:15 - English E, English F, French C

These groups and times will remain the same for all four KinderStart/Bon Départ sessions.

All groups were communicated to families in an earlier email. If you need to confirm your child’s group, please contact the school at 709-895–2241 or email lisamorgan@nlschools.ca.

Doors will open for our KinderStart/Bon Départ sessions 5 minutes before the scheduled start time. Once the doors are opened, KinderStart/Bon Départ students will head to the cafeteria to remove their outdoor clothing before moving to the library with their caregiver. Please ensure your child has indoor shoes to wear throughout the session. Once in the library, we ask that you choose a seat and wait there with your child until their name is called by the Kindergarten teachers. Teachers will accompany all students to the classrooms, with families remaining in the library. All four caregiver sessions will take place in the library.

For each session, we ask that you send along an allergy-aware snack for your child to eat for each session. Currently, our restricted food items include:

• peanuts,

• tree nuts,

• eggs (baked in food is okay),

• fish & shellfish, and

• sesame (including tahini).

Please refrain from sending these items to our Kinderstart/Bon Départ sessions. Items that say "may contain" are okay.

Please note that we are also a scent-aware environment. Please do not bring / wear any scented products to school.

We kindly ask that only one caregiver per student attend each session.

To ensure the safety and comfort of all students within our building, please remain in our cafeteria, library, office, and front foyer areas only. When the session is over, we kindly ask that you head out as soon as possible to avoid congestion in our hallways for the rest of our students and staff. 

We’re looking forward to meet​ing our newest learners and their families :)

​Thank you,

The BCE Administration Team
