Kindergarten is the start of an exciting adventure for your child. CBE schools are open to all children and are committed to welcoming every student into a safe, caring, and inclusive environment.
At Escuela Dalhousie, our kindergarten program provides flexibility by offering either a half-day option in the morning (AM) or afternoon (PM). Students attend Monday to Thursday during their chosen session and alternate Friday mornings.
Kindergarten classes run Monday through Thursday from 9:15 AM to 12:05 PM for morning sessions and 1:00 PM to 3:50 PM for afternoon sessions. On alternating Fridays, Kindergarten classes assigned to the Friday will attend designated mornings from 9:15 AM to 1:11 PM. A school calendar with a Friday schedule for kindergarten groups will be shared at the beginning of the year.
Whenever possible, our Kindergarten students are assigned to AM or PM classes based on the preferences indicated by parents during registration. However, we can’t guarantee the AM or PM request to ensure a balanced number of students in each group. Grouping (AM or PM) placements will be finalized by the June kindergarten Orientation Session.
During the first week of school, Kindergarten teachers will work with all students. After the first week of school, homeroom teachers will be assigned to ensure balanced classes. Once assigned, the homeroom teacher will serve as the main point of contact for communication and assessment.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our Kindergarten program!
We would love to have you at our school!
