Message!
Good Evening Families,
Today was a beautiful day for our walk. A very successful walk-a-thon. Thank you for your support. Students enjoyed walking with their friends and receiving a visit from Sparky the fire dog. We really appreciated the support from our families, the Torbay Volunteer Fire Department and the RNC. It was pretty exciting.
A reminder to Kindergarten families that there is no school for Kindergarten students tomorrow. We will be having our last KinderStart session.

Early French Immersion
● French Immersion is a program designed for non-francophone children. Parents/guardians interested in registering a child for the French Immersion Kindergarten Program must select their zoned school. If Early French Immersion is not offered in the zoned school, parents/guardians must select the school closest to their place of residence that offers Early French Immersion (EFI).
● Early French Immersion Kindergarten registration takes place on a first-come first served basis for a limited number of seats. Applications will be dated and time-stamped upon submission of the online application form. All students are entitled to a program in English so if your child is waitlisted for EFI at a school that is not your zoned school, space will be held at the zoned school. Parents/guardians will be provided with further information once class lists for EFI are finalized in September.

presentation is also PROVIDED HERE for review. Kinderstart/Kindergarten Inquiries
If you have any questions regarding the Kinderstart/Kindergarten program and registration
process and details, please contact your zoned school administrator for assistance or email
your questions to nlesdfeedback@nlesd.ca.
