Kindergarten Gradual Entry Calendar 2021
Dear Families of Dr. F. D. Sinclair,
We are looking forward to getting to meet you and your child in the coming days. As with previous years, we will be beginning our kindergarten year on a Gradual Entry schedule that is attached to this letter.
Kindergarten Gradual Entry includes both the phasing-in of small groups and shortened attendance times. This gradual introduction to Kindergarten builds a solid foundation for school life by:
Allowing children to adjust to their new environment, teacher and peers in a smaller group and for a shorter school session.
Allowing time for each family to meet with the teacher to share important information about their child and to build positive relationships between home and school.
Allowing the teacher to focus on smaller groups during the Kindergarten Gradual Entry period, introducing children to classroom routines and procedures, and easing the transition for children so they will feel comfortable and valued as new members of the school community.
We are eagerly awaiting your child's arrival and look forward to developing an ongoing relationship with you to support your child's learning.
Sincerely,
Ms. Kaur, Ms. Beauchamp, Ms. Dosanjh and Ms. Tmana
Kindergarten Teachers
