Welcome to Kindergarten at Garibaldi Highlands Elementary!
We are so excited to welcome you and your child to our school community! We can't wait to meet our new kindergarten learners and begin this exciting journey together. Your one-hour visit will include fun and engaging stations where children and parents can explore and play together. Partway through the session, parents will be invited to a short information session, while the children continue to enjoy the activities with our kindergarten teachers. We look forward to seeing you soon!

English & French Immersion Kindergarten Gradual Entry Schedule
2025/2026 School Year
Our staff and students are ready to welcome your child into the EGHE family! Please see the schedule above to inform you of timing requirements.
During the gradual entry process, your child will be dropped off and picked up from the same Kindergarten classrooms - Room 176 (French Immersion) and Room 172 (English program). Both these rooms are located in the courtyard by the gym. There will be a sign and some friendly faces to help direct you to the location.
Your child will be with a teacher and a small group of children during the gradual entry. Please note that this may not be your child’s permanent teacher or classmates.
Teachers will communicate your child’s placement on Tuesday, September 10th.
The first full day for Kindergarten will be Wednesday September 10th. Do not worry about sending your child with school supplies. Teachers have used the student fees to provide classrooms with communal supplies.
Please return your “Welcome to Kindergarten Information Sheet” on your child’s first day of gradual entry.
We are looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday, September 2nd!
