Starting Kindergarten is a big milestone for children and families! To help make this transition positive, comfortable, and successful, our Kindergarten students will begin the school year through gradual entry.

Gradual entry gives children the opportunity to become familiar with their new classroom, teacher, classmates, and school environment in smaller groups and for shorter periods of time. This allows students to build confidence, develop relationships, and become comfortable with the routines and expectations of Kindergarten before joining their full class.

There are three gradual entry schedules:

• Class 1 & 2Class 1 & 2 Gradual Entry Schedule
• Class 3Class 3 Gradual Entry Schedule
• MontessoriClass 3 Gradual Entry Schedule

Please make sure you know which class your child is in and follow the corresponding gradual entry schedule.

If you are unsure which class your child has been assigned to, please email LSeto@sd43.bc.ca before the first day.

We appreciate your patience and support as we help our youngest learners make a smooth and positive transition into school. We look forward to welcoming our new Kindergarten students!
