Kindergarten - PVNC Catholic District School Board

STAGGERED ENTRY
Staggered entry means that not all of the children in the Junior Kindergarten
program attend on the first day of school in September. The children enter school
in small groups.
For your child, it means a calm and
warm introduction to Junior
Kindergarten. The teacher can give
each student more personal attention
on this important first day. This
approach helps students who arrive
with a variety of cultural and social
backgrounds, preschool experiences,
and special needs.
Your child will experience a sense of
belonging, and a more relaxed
introduction to school expectations and
routines, and the classroom
environment.
For Senior Kindergarten students who
did not attend Junior Kindergarten, a
staggered entry day may be provided.
A full-day, alternate day format is used
for both Junior Kindergarten and Senior
Kindergarten.
