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

There are two Nature Kindergarten Parent Information Sessions being offered this month.

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 13TH – 17TH, 2020
GENERAL KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
January 27TH – 31ST, 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
