The Nature Kindergarten Parent/Caregiver Information Sessions are:

Sangster Elementary – January 11, 2024 – 6:00 to 7:00 PM

Saseenos Elementary – January 13, 2024 – 10:30 to 11:30 AM

Information sessions are mandatory for parents/caregivers who wish to register their child(ren) for Nature Kindergarten. Both sessions will present the same information, so you can attend either session.

The Sooke School District has two Nature Kindergarten Programs – one at Sangster Elementary in Colwood and one at Saseenos Elementary in Sooke.  To register for Nature Kindergarten, parents/guardians must attend a parent information session.

On-line parent information sessions will take place on January 6, 2022 from 6:30 to 7:15 PM and on January 8, 2022 from 11 am to noon.

Nature Kindergarten registration will take place from January 10 to 14, 2022.

There are two Nature Kindergarten Parent Information Sessions being offered this month.  Parents, who are interested in this program for their child(ren), are requested to attend one of the two sessions.  This is the only opportunity to obtain a Nature Kindergarten registration form (that is specific to the program).  The form is required for registration.

Thursday, January 9th at Sangster Elementary School at 6:30 pm

Saturday, January 11th at Saseenos Elementary School at 10:30 am

For further information, please contact either of the two schools.

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION

FRENCH IMMERSION KINDERGARTEN, LATE ENTRY FRENCH IMMERSION AND NATURE KINDERGARTEN

January 13^TH – 17^TH, 2020

GENERAL KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION

January 27^TH – 31^ST, 2020

In the past all Kindergarten registration has taken place at the same time in SD 62 but this created challenges for parents and caregivers whose children did not get a spot in one of the specialized programs due to limited space and high demand.

Moving the registration dates for Nature Kindergarten and French Immersion Kindergarten to the earlier dates will allow those families ample time to participate in General Kindergarten Registration.

More details are available on our website SD62.bc.ca
