Gradual Entry for Edgewater Elementary
Kindergarten children in B.C are required to have fewer instructional hours in a year than other grades, which allows for a smooth transition schedule for your child. We understand that this schedule can create some challenges for parents regarding childcare. We also know the value that it holds for children going through this time of transition. New experiences can be difficult and exhausting for young children, so this alternate schedule provides time to learn new routines, rest and build stamina in the school setting. Below you will find your child’s schedule for the first couple of weeks.
At Edgewater School, we break students into two groups, so they can experience both the morning routine and the afternoon routine. If you do not know which group your child will be in or will be registering in August, please contact the school for further information.
