Published November 25, 2022 at 12:55 pm
For Burlington, Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills children, their first step into a classroom can be a virtual one.
The Halton District School Board is looking to make that first step a smooth one by welcoming future students and their families to a virtual Kindergarten experience.
Beginning this fall, three-year-olds and their families can learn more about making the first school experience “a happy one” by to going to kindergarten.hdsb.ca.
There the young kids can explore a Kindergarten classroom to see what their future classroom might look like next September. There are videos to watch, pictures to view and fun activities for kids.
Parents/guardians can also learn about the Kindergarten program at the HDSB, play-based learning, community resources in Halton and before-and-after school care. Families can also sign-up to receive a welcome package from the HDSB including a free children’s book.
Registration for Kindergarten begins in Jan., 2023 and is by appointment only (in-person and/or virtual) through the school your child will attend.
