Hello Parents,

Here are this week’s updates:

1. Upcoming Dates to Note:
– Monday, January 25 – On-line Registration Begins for New Kindergarten Students
– Monday, January 25 – School Council Meeting at 6:30 pm in the Library
– Thurs., Jan. 28 to Feb. 4 – Pizza/Cookie Orders for Feb/Mar Open on School-Day

2. Kindergarten Registration Procedure for Children Born in 2011 and 2012:
Beginning on Monday, January 25th, go to the Williamsburg school web-site for step by step instructions on how to register your child ON-LINE for Kindergarten – http://wlm.wrdsb.ca/.  Once you have completed the on-line registration or have printed and completed a paper copy, you will be required to come into the school with your child’s documentation (proof of birth) to be copied by office staff, as well as to show proof of address (Eg. utility bill with your name on it). Our Office is open from 8:30am to 3:45pm (Monday through Friday) and we request that you come in to the office during the week of February 8th-12th to finalize your child’s registration. It is not necessary for your child to come to the school when submitting your registration paperwork.

If your child currently attends Williamsburg Public School in JK, there is no need to register for SK, as this happens automatically at the school level.

If you have any questions about the registration process for Kindergarten, please do not hesitate to call the Office at 519-742-1848.
