At Thames Valley, our caring staff is ready to welcome your child to Kindergarten! The first day of school is an exciting event for all of us, but it may also be a time of significant change for you and your child. To make this transition as enjoyable as possible, we suggest that you find out as much as you can about your school before you enroll your child. Find out: the principal’s name when to register and what forms to fill out what immunizations your child needs the class program the kindergarten yearly calendar and daily schedule transportation procedures food service arrangements You will also want to find out how you can become involved with your child’s education and in the school. Some schools will send you this information, or they will facilitate an orientation session in the spring for parents with children who will begin school in the fall. Alternatively, you can also contact the principal’s office to arrange a visit, or you can visit the Ministry of Education’s web site to review the curriculum. At Thames Valley, we strive to meet the individual needs of each student, building on his or her strengths, abilities and talents. We look forward to beginning our journey of learning together.
