On May 7th, the Kindergarten teachers and I will be welcoming the new Kindergarten students and their parents at the annual Kindergarten orientation. It will be wonderful event, where we meet and introduce ourselves to the new children and their parents who will be joining us in September. I also want to acknowledge and thank many of our Grade 5 students who have volunteered to take these families on a school tour at the end of the orientation. The Kindergarten teachers will also have an opportunity to visit with the parents and share what September will look like for their child. We are always so very proud of their ability to lead and share the various activities that have occurred at Deep Cove School during their educational journey. The month of May is also the transitional time for our Grade 5 students who are moving into Middle School. The students and teachers prepare a mini portfolio for each student, which is then shared with the Grade 6 teachers. The students are also getting ready to go the Camp Pringle and are eagerly awaiting a few of the year end activities. Mme E. Moser Mr. S.
