Kindergarten Orientation Invitation
As the Government announced in the 2009 Speech from the Throne, British Columbia is making full day Kindergarten available to all five-year-olds in the province and starting in September 2011, all schools across the Province of British Columbia will enrol full time Kindergarten classes. Students enrolled in Kindergarten will attend regular school hours the same as those offered to students in Grade 1 through 7.
In School District No. 20, full day Kindergarten will be provided to all kindergarten students for the 2011 – 2012 school year. Full day learning is associated with improved reading and numeracy, smoother transitions to Grade 1, and overall greater success in school. Full day Kindergarten enables teachers more time to deliver the Kindergarten Program and to give their students more individual attention.
If you have any questions regarding the implementation of Full Day Kindergarten in general or at Webster Elementary School, please contact Ms. S. McKay, Principal @ 250-368-3242 or [email protected] or visit the Ministry of Education’s website https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/support/full-day-kindergarten?keyword=education&keyword=kindergarten
