Parents invited to register children for Kindergarten Camp in Rainbow Schools

Rainbow District School Board will offer Kindergarten Camp for children starting school this fall. The week-long program will run from 9 am to 12 pm from Monday, August 28, 2023 to Thursday, August 31, 2023 at all Rainbow elementary schools.

Children must be registered to attend school where the program is being offered.

Sufficient registration is required to ensure the viability of each program.

“Kindergarten Camp immerses children into the wonderful experiences that await them in Rainbow Schools,” says Director of Education Bruce Bourget. “The purpose of Kindergarten Camp is to ease the transition from home to school. Children become familiar with staff and surroundings, meet classmates, and get excited about their first day of school.”

Under the guidance of qualified teachers and designated early childhood educators, children will enjoy a variety of daily routines and will engage in inquiry-based learning and play, including co-operative games and outdoor activities. The program will focus on collaboration, problem solving and innovation, and math and literacy.

To register for Kindergarten Camp, visit bit.ly/rdsbkcamp2023. The deadline to register is Monday, June 26, 2023. Inquiries can be sent to [email protected].

Parents/guardians will be notified in early July about their child’s participation in the program.

If you have not registered your child for school, there is still time to do so. Contact your area Rainbow School to register today.

The first day of school is Wednesday, September 6, 2023. There will be no early dismissal on the first day. Please note: The day after the Labour Day weekend – Tuesday, September 5, 2023 – is a professional activity day.
