Welcome to our school community!
We believe that all families are composed of individuals who are competent and capable, curious, and rich in experience. We know our families love their children and want the best for them. Families are experts on their children. They are the first and most powerful influence on children’s learning, development, health, and well-being. Families bring diverse social, cultural, and linguistic perspectives. Families should feel that they belong, are valuable contributors to their children’s learning, and deserve to be engaged in a meaningful way.
Welcome to Kindergarten Event You will be invited to our school this year in the spring, where we can gather in community and get to know each other! There will be an opportunity for you and your child to participate in activities together and ask questions. Let’s get ready to Talk, Create, Read and Play!
Introducing Our Early Years Team, Our School Community and Learning Spaces
We are excited you are now a Wildcat! We have 3 FDK classes. Our staff is looking forward to meeting with you in September.
Information
St. Matthew School is a safe place for all. Through our safe arrival and dismissal procedures, attendance program, no nut policy, and all new policies that will be in place in Ontario schools, we will make sure your child’s safety comes first. The Educators and families will have regular communication to keep you informed of your child’s learning, class events and activities and school information. You will receive a Parent Handbook in September that outlines all procedures in your child’s class. We hope that you will find our school community to be an inviting one. We will work together to meet the academic and social goals for your child in a Christ-centred learning environment. We know that a child’s success is enhanced when home and school work closely together through effective communication and co-operation. The Early Learning Kindergarten Team will strive to make this connection between home and school a strong one.
