Winter Dress
With the ever changing weather, please ensure that your children are dressed appropriately with hats, boots, mittens and warm coats. This is also a great time of year to wear layers so that children can adjust their clothing as the temperature warms throughout the day.
Our students enjoy playing outside twice a day for twenty minutes each break and we want all of them to feel comfortable.

KinderSTARt
KinderSTARt is a special one day event for parents to register their children for Junior Kindergarten or are new to Senior Kindergarten. It is a great opportunity for parents and children to learn more about school together. The program is offered in partnership with the Best Start community service partners. Through KinderSTARt children and parents have an early opportunity to visit the school and meet staff in preparation for Full Day Kindergarten in the fall of 2017. We also welcome younger siblings (18 months – 3 years) to attend. Our Community Partners are there to offer helpful information about getting ready for school, such as ages and stages of growth development, good nutrition and healthy living tips and immunization. Victor Lauriston School will host KinderSTARt on Thursday February 15, 2018 from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm.
