Welcome to Rideau Park School, especially if this is your first child to attend the school, and welcome to your child entering Kindergarten.
The Kindergarten students begin with a staggered entry, which means that not all of the children begin on the first day of school. The children will be scheduled to attend a Kindergarten Orientation on either September 4th, 5th or 6th with the whole class beginning regular daily attendance on Friday, September 7th. You should have received an email regarding your child's Kindergarten orientation date. I will meet you and your child in the hallway outside the Kindergarten classroom (Room 3) to show your child where to hang up his/her coat, backpack and change shoes. Please allow your child to organize his/her materials and get dressed as independently as possible, as this is an important goal for your child. School hours for Kindergarten students are Monday – Friday from 9:05 – 11:50 a.m. Please pick your child up at 11:50 outside the front doors. Please email me before 8:45 a.m. or send me a note to notify me if someone else is picking up your child. If you are late picking your child up, he/she will wait for you in the main office. Children attending Summit Kids before and after school program will be brought to and picked up at the classroom by a Summit Kids' employee. Your child requires:
The school provides all other school materials needed. I openly welcome parent volunteers. There are a multiple ways in which parents can help with the classroom, including assisting the children in learning tasks, material preparation, organizing snacks for special days and assisting on field trips. If you are interested in volunteering in the classroom, you must complete a CBE security clearance. Please see Linda Halford in the office and she will help you with all of the necessary documentation. Your child will receive a plastic folder that is to be used as a means of sending home notices and home reading books. Please check it daily for notices and please place any notices in it that need to be returned to school. All school information and my weekly blog post can be found on our school’s website.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or phone me at 403-777-7480. I look very forward to an exciting year working with you and your child! |
