​Hi everyone,

It’s Lisa Jardine from Leatherbarrow Primary School with an important message for parents and guardians of students coming to kindergarten in the fall.

To help your children further prepare for entry into kindergarten, we have planned a Kindergarten Transition Day on Friday, May 17^th. On this day, all current kindergarten students will stay home from school so that your children can experience a condensed kindergarten day where they will participate in some fun activities, tour the school, play on the playground (weather permitting) and take a ride around School Street on the bus. As we have almost 80 students registered for kindergarten, we need to have a morning session and an afternoon session.

Children with last names from A-K are asked to come to our morning session from 9:00-11:30am

Children with last names L-Z are asked to come to our afternoon session from 11:45-2:15pm

*Please feed your children before they come to their session.

Unlike the Orientation Day when you stayed in the classroom with your child, you will drop your child off in a kindergarten class and leave them to independently participate with the teacher and other children. You may wish to come to the gym for approximately 45 minutes to hear a general overview of the school and ask any questions you may have about kindergarten. Members of Talk with Me and the school district’s Child and Youth Team will also be in the gym to tell you about what services they can provide to students and their families.

Please RSVP your attendance to this session at 832-6022. We look forward to seeing you and your child on the 17^th!​
