This past school year saw the implementation of a district-wide Kindergarten Transition Timeline document. This document was co-created with several early years partners and school principals across the district in an effort to align transition practices and provide the best possible support for children and families as they enter the school system. 

Over the past two weeks, the working groups in each community (Golden, Invermere, and Kimberley) came back together to share their experience with using this timeline. There were many stories of success and additional feedback on things to modify and/or add for the upcoming year. 

You can see the Kindergarten Transition Timeline document here. 

StrongStart Programs across Rocky Mountain School District recognized National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Facilitators were provided a copy of the book With Our Orange Hearts to share in their programs and children and their families engaged in a variety of activities including painting orange handprints, orange t-shirts, writing gratitude letters to the earth, and many more!
