Welcome!

Welcome to the families of new kinder students!


We hope you feel a little more comfortable after your parent orientation and a LOT more comfortable knowing there is a blog where you can access resources, updates, information, and see answers other parent questions.  Please always feel welcome to ask questions that you have through emailing us at theffernan@ugcloud.ca and bfarnworth@ucloud.ca.  We will only share your question (without your name) with our answer if you give us permission.  Let's grow together as a kinder group.
