Kindergarten
Each year, we look forward to welcoming young learners and their families to the North Vancouver School District.
As you help your child prepare to begin a new journey with us -- an adventure that includes learning, sharing and growing among a caring community of students, staff, families and community partners -- know that we are here to support you too…because Kindergarten is a big step for everyone!
We encourage you to use the resources below to help you and your child successfully transition to Kindergarten.
We look forward to meeting you all very soon.
