Kindergarten First Day of School for September 2016

Dear Families:

We are very much looking forward to having your child start the junior kindergarten year with us at Johnsview Village P.S. In order to best support your junior kindergarten child’s successful entry to the start of his/her school career, the first day of school will be a HALF day only in the morning. This year, the first day of school falls on September 6, 2016. In order to ensure that the first half day runs smoothly we would like to give you the following information:

·        Your child will attend school from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on September 6 only, 2016
·        Your child can attend the before care program, if he/she is registered
·        After care access will not be available for the first day as children MUST be picked up at 11:30 a.m.
·        Your child will NOT ride the bus on September 6, as bus transportation is not provided during the day
·        You must make alternate arrangements to pick up your child from the school at 11:30 a.m.
·        Please pick your child up from the kindergarten door.

Please note that you may drop off your child at 8:45 a.m. (when supervision begins) in the kindergarten yard on the morning of September 6, 2016. Please be prepared to say a quick goodbye in the kindergarten play area.  

Bus transportation for junior kindergarten students will begin on Wednesday September 7, 2016 as will access to the after-care program be available starting on September 7, 2016. All junior kindergarten children will attend school FULL TIME/ALL DAY starting Wednesday, September 7, 2016.

Parents will want to check out the Student Transportation Services of York Region website (http://www.schoolbuscity.com/), including information about a First Time Rider program that takes place in August and September for any student who has never been transported on school bus, especially junior kindergarten students.

We look forward to a wonderful and successful school year.

Sincerely,



Mrs. Goldberg,
Principal
