The May newsletter is now posted: May, 2010

NJ will be offering a free english KinderCamp summer pilot program for the months of June, July, and August.

The program will provide children entering YK1 Kindergarten in the fall the chance to get a boost in the areas of literacy and numeracy.  It will also provide children a chance to get familiarized with a more formal classroom setting while still having fun.

This program is on a first-come, first-served basis and is dependent on availability and demand from parents in the community. KinderCamps are also being offered in english at Range Lake North and Mildred Hall and french immersion at J.H. Sissons.

To register in person, please visit the school office. To pre-register online, click here: KinderCamp online registration

YK1 is considering offering a free pre-kindergarten early intervention pilot program at NJ Macpherson during the months of June, July, and August to students who are registered for school in September 2010 in one of YK1’s kindergarten programs.
