Home-School Connections: ideas to enhance student learning at home, February 2019
Each month, school newsletters include a one-page insert called Home-School Connections. It describes ways in which families can enhance student learning at home in the areas of literacy; numeracy; healthy, caring schools and improving student learning.
This month's Home-School Connections (Pdf) features:
- Kindergarten Registration
- On-line pre-registration is now available. Children must be 4 years old in 2019 (born in 2015) to enter Kindergarten.
- A HPEDSB Family Questionnaire (Pdf) is available for families to complete. The purpose of the questionnaire is to gather information that will support your child's transition to school.
- Documents to bring in:
1. Your child's birth certificate or passport
2. Immunization card
3. Home address
4. Custody orders, if applicable
- Are you thinking about elective programs for your child? Pre-registrations for French Immersion, Extended French and Destinations are due to the host school by Friday, February 15, 2019 for September 2019.
- Where Talk Happens! Ontario's Well-Being Strategy for Education (Pdf)
