Message from Earl Kitchener’s Principal…
Hello and welcome back!
The first day of school is Tuesday September 8th. We recognize on the first few days of school that transitions for students need to be considered. Therefore, on the first day of school, the Grade 1’s and 2’s will be organizing into their classes in the gym. Parents are welcome at this time to enter the gym with their child to meet the teacher. The Grades 3’s, 4’s, and 5’s will be organizing into their classes on the back playground. Parents are welcome to join their child on the back playground to meet their teacher before the bell rings. There will be ample staff available to help assist children to the right classrooms or teachers if parents or guardians are unable to stay. For the rest of the week (September 9th – 11th), the playground morning entry will be lenient so parents will be able to walk their child onto the playground and to their line if the student requires it. However, starting Monday September 14th, we will be continuing to follow the current playground practice by asking parents to wait in a specific area on the playground.
Here is a list of teachers and where they will be located as the children come to school on the first day before the 8:50 a.m. bell…

We do have a new Kindergarten area located on the Stanley Street side of Earl Kitchener. This will be the area for the Kindergarten entry and dismissal. These classes are listed below:
Mrs. Niessen / Mrs. Rodney-Glen
Mrs. Howarth / Mrs. Masson
Mrs. Johnson / Ms. Trimmins
Ms. Nickafor / Ms. Dore
Mrs. Karoles (LTO)
Mrs. Nelson (FDK Prep)
Dismissal (3:10-3:25 pm)
Parents will be invited to pick up their children by accessing the playground at 3:10 p.m. Grades 1,2, and 3’s will be dismissed onto the back playground. Grade 4’s and 5’s will be dismissed out the side doors. On the back playground, there will be pylons to help parents identify the area they are not to cross. This again helps staff with sight lines to help identify who has not been picked up. Children that are not picked up will wait near the middle stairs with the teachers that are on duty and brought into the school at 3:25 p.m. so the office staff can make a phone call home to see about pick-up arrangements.
Enjoy the long weekend! Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!
Sincerely,
Richelle Bratuz
Principal
