Transitions - Helping Students Manage Change

  • Print

Students go through several transitions while in school, moving from one grade to another. The Student Success Department knows that the way that students cope with the changes they face during these years has a big impact on their success at school. The brochures listed below are to help guide students, parents and teachers with key transition times. 

Starting school is an exciting time for students and their families. The brochures listed below will provide you with some details on how our Full-Day and Half-Day Kindergarten programs work, and how your child can best benefit from all that is offered within our community schools.

Thoughts of a young child

“Put learning in my way — then stand aside
to guide my footsteps — but do not push me.
My steps are small because my legs are short
and there is much to see that you have seen.
But see no more — too bad!
When I have travelled all the road through
books uphill and down
My head will overflow with so much knowing.
Don’t make me go too fast to see and hear this
lovely world
Let joy keep pace with growing."
