January 12 & 14: Virtual Kindergarten Information Nights in Rainbow Schools Rainbow Schools in Sudbury, Espanola and Manitoulin will host virtual Kindergarten Information Nights for students starting school this fall. All parents/guardians and their children are invited to join schools online. Presentations will be available on school websites at 5:30 pm on Tuesday, January 12, 2021 for the English Program and Thursday, January 14, 2021 for the French Immersion Program. Schoo...ls offering English and French Immersion will post their presentations on Thursday, January 14, 2021. Staff will be available by phone, email or Google Meet to answer questions. If your child is starting school for the very first time, please complete the online registration form: https://www.rainbowschools.ca/register-now/registration/ For enrolment in Kindergarten, your child must be four years of age by the end of the calendar year. After completing the online registration form, the school will contact you for your child’s identification documents including birth certificate or birth registry/baptismal certificate, proof of residency, Ontario Health card and an immunization record. Parents/guardians can enroll their children in the English Program or the French Immersion Program. The English Program is exclusively in English and includes a Core French component, which begins in Grade 4. Students learn French through songs, games, drama and interactive activities for a specified period of time daily. French Immersion immerses children in the French language, including cultural experiences, when they begin school. English language instruction is introduced in Grade 3 and gradually builds to a balance of French and English instruction by Grade 5. This ensures that students gain effective bilingual skills. This program is designed for English speaking parents/guardians so they may support their children to become bilingual. Visit rainbowschools.ca for a list of schools and programs offered or contact your area Rainbow School.

We are super excited to see everyone tomorrow! Don’t forget to wear your mask! If you borrowed technology for last week’s online leaning, please bring it to school tomorrow. Ms Pakkala and Ms Mackenzie will be around to collect and clean devices in the morning.

We can’t wait to see all our Lakers on Monday!! Don’t forget to practice all safety protocols and use the online screening tool each day before coming to school. Have a nice weekend

Parents/guardians invited to learn about transitioning back to school during a pandemic Parents/guardians of children in Rainbow Schools are invited to take part in a virtual presentation on Life Interrupted: A Pathway Toward Resilience and Growth. Two online sessions will be available - Tuesday, October 6, 2020 at 3 pm and Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at 7 pm.... Hosted by the Rainbow District School Board Mental Health Team, the presentation will support parents/guardians as their children transition back to school whether learning in class or online. As we resume teaching and learning through the backdrop of a global pandemic, student well-being and achievement continues to be a primary focus, says Director of Education Norm Blaseg. I extend special thanks to our staff who continue to engage families in creative ways with content that is relevant and timely. During the presentation, participants will explore how to use a thought jar at home, learn the many benefits of practising mindfulness, and gain strategies for talking and listening to children as they navigate potential grief and loss that may be experienced during a pandemic. To take part, parents will require a device, an Internet connection and a Gmail account. Parents/guardians can register online at bit.ly/rdsblifeinterrupted. The deadline to register is Monday, October 5, 2020 at noon.
