Frequently Asked Questions
| What supports are there for children going to French Immersion? |
| All families registering for Kindergarten will be provided with the opportunity to enroll in French Immersion. The program begins with immersion through oral language. As your child learns and grows, the school team will provide a variety of supports and resources for your child to be successful in the program. Additional French Immersion program information is available here. |
| Are supports available for speech and language development? |
|
It is recommended that families speak directly to their school鈥檚 main office team who will connect the family with the school鈥檚 Learning Support Teacher (LST). The LST will have a detailed conversation with the family about their child, and the potential supports available. The 黄色直播 has a team of Speech-Language Pathologists, who support Kindergarten educator teams with oral language development. In addition, the 黄色直播 works in partnership with the John McGivney Children鈥檚 Centre who work in partnership and may support occupational and speech and language concerns. |
| What supports are available for children whose first language is not English? |
| The 黄色直播 is proud to be part of a highly diverse and culturally rich community. Many of the families within 黄色直播 have a home language that is not English, and we encourage children to continue to learn and speak in their home languages with their family. The 黄色直播 has a number of strategies and supports for a student who may be learning English as an additional second language. Please speak with your home school and educator team to learn more about the supports that may be available for your child. |
| Are there any additional resources that can help me prepare my child for Kindergarten? |
| Please find additional resources for families, as well as ways to support your child鈥檚 transition, on the 黄色直播 webpage 鈥� Getting Ready for Kindergarten.
