Most frequently, students play together in the classroom, in the gym, or outside. Enjoyment of energetic activity allows students to use large and small muscles to improve coordination and to build self-confidence. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board believes in a strong partnership between school and home. An active role in your child's education is vital. Volunteering Children, teachers, and parents gain from active parent volunteer programs.
Volunteers enrich the kindergarten program in many ways.
All our elementary and secondary schools have a school council. Parents and guardians are encouraged to take an active part in this advisory group. To volunteer or find out more about your school council, speak to the principal, or the kindergarten teacher. Talk to the staff at your neighbourhood school. These caring individuals are able to provide you with support, guidance, and information on kindergarten.
