The time of year is approaching when parents prepare to register their little one's to begin their journey in education.

 

The Garden Valley School Division kindergarten registration kicks off the second week in March.
 
Assistant Superintendent Vern Reimer says the children will be eased into the school system.
 
He says once a child's school has been determined, a transition process follows.
 
It includes a meeting with the child, parents, and teacher.
 
Reimer says they also have a staggered integrated entry.
 
That means only about half the class arrives on the first day of school, the other half on the second day.
 
The entire class will merge on day three.
 
Reimer adds placement usually isn't confirmed until after May 15th, which  is the application deadline for schools of choice.
