CSCNO Schools in ALgoma to Welcome Incoming Kindergarten Students
ALGOMA DISTRICT, ON – In the coming weeks, Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario (CSCNO) French Catholic elementary schools in the Algoma district will be offering a warm welcome to children who are starting kindergarten in September 2017 as well as their parents/guardians. All families having registered their children in a French language Catholic school are invited to the “Bienvenue à la maternelle” (Welcome to Kindergarten) event. Parents who have not registered their children in a CSCNO school still have time to register for this event by calling their closest community school.
This welcoming activity is of great importance for schools since it allows parents whose children will start kindergarten this fall to develop ties with their school and to establish a strong relationship from the start. In an effort to promote a smooth transition to kindergarten, this celebration will include several activities for children and parents alike, and will benefit from the presence of several school ambassadors. Each child will receive a souvenir while parents receive important information relating to speech development, social and daycare services, gentle beginnings schedule as well as school transportation.
In August, incoming kindergarten students will have the opportunity to participate at no cost in the “Apprends-p’tit” program, in a dozen CSCNO schools. This two-week program will allow students to familiarize themselves with the school environment and kindergarten routine. Through play-centred activities, children will be able to develop their grasp of the French language, faith, self-confidence and social skills.
