Dear Terrace Road Families,

Kindergarten Class and Teacher Update
A communication was sent out to kindergarten families only last week that we have an exciting opportunity to create a second Kindergarten class at TRS in a very long time. Because of our increased enrollment, we are able to provide the second class starting on February 3, 2025. Mrs. Wacker will continue to be the teacher for the A.M. class, which is comprised primarily of students that are picked up at 11:20 a.m. each day by a family member/caregiver. These students will continue to attend class as usual, starting at 8:36 and ending at 11:20 Monday to Friday.
The P.M. Kindergarten class runs from 12:00 P.M. until 2:44 P.M. Monday-Thursday and is comprised of students attending Summit Kids. These students will still be dropped off at their regular time with Summit in the morning, or with Summit at 8:30. Summit will then provide programming for the students up until their class starts at 12:00 P.M. Summit will then collect the students again at 2:44 to take them back to Summit until they are picked up by family or caregivers.
On Fridays, both Kindergarten classes will attend at the same time, providing students with the opportunity to connect with friends, and for teachers to co-teach and break out into a variety of spaces within the school. Fridays will run on our usual morning schedule: 8:36-11:20.
We are excited to announce that Ms. Renette Kurz is taking on the role as the teacher in the PM Kindergarten class. Ms. Kurz has been with us a literacy and numeracy support teacher since November, and she has been working extensively with the Kindergarten class and Ms. Wacker.
No-School--Kindergarten January 17 and January 20
These dates are built into our kindergarten hours of programming from spring planning and allow Mrs. Wacker the time to complete her report cards and provincial diagnostic assessments. Summit Kids will be running drop-in day camps for students whose parents are needing childcare on those days.
School Council
Just a reminder that we have our January School Council meeting upcoming this Thursday, from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. The meeting will take place in-person in our staff room at TRS, or virtually via a link sent out the day of the meeting. We encourage all members of our community to come and check it out and have your voice heard!
Alien In-Line
The Alien In-Line skating residency will start next Monday, January 20th. We will send out a schedule this week, but know that each class will be receiving three one-hour opportunities to skate in our gym. If you have not yet had the chance to fill out the form, please do so promptly. Fees can be paid via your mycbe/powerschool account.
Kindergarten Registration
Our kindergarten registration for the 2025-26 school year will begin on January 13th- next Monday! We are excited to begin the enrolment process for next school year. If you have children that are eligible for kindergarten, or if you have neighbours/friends within Montgomery that have kindergarten-aged children, please do let them know of the upcoming date. There is no cut-off for registration, but the sooner we have an idea of numbers in kindergarten, the sooner we are able to make plans the the class(es). The following links will be useful in the process: PDF INFORMATION & the CBE Kindergarten Registration Page
Fees and Waivers
At Terrace Road, we want to ensure that all families have access to education without financial burden. There are central fees applied to you MyCBE account, such as lunch room and student supplies. There are also School Fees that are applied to cover the cost of field trips and activities/in-school experiences. If you need to apply for a fee waiver, please visit this PAGE on the CBE site. If you have any additional questions, please come to the office and Sherisse will be happy to support!
I hope that everyone has a wonderful week and I hope to see you all very soon,
Dan
