The Halton District School Board is inviting parents to attend a virtual open house about kindergarten.
It’s for parents of three-year-olds. It’s to help make the transition a smooth one as kids start to head off to school for the first time.
These open houses would have typically been held in-person; however, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision was made to continue holding these virtual for the time being.
With the virtual open house, three-year olds can explore a Kindergarten classroom to see what their future classroom might look like next September. There are videos to watch, pictures to view and fun activities for kids. Parents/guardians can learn about the Kindergarten program at the HDSB, play-based learning, community resources in Halton and before-and-after school care. Families can also sign-up to receive a welcome package from the HDSB including a free children’s book.
Registration for Kindergarten begins in January 2022 and will be by appointment only (in-person and/or virtual) through the school your child will attend. More information will be shared in the new year. To begin Kindergarten in September 2022, children must be four-years-old by December 31st, 2022 for Year 1 Kindergarten and must be five years old by December 31st, 2022 for Year 2 Kindergarten.
