Kindergarten
Let's Get Ready to Learn!
Starting your learning journey in Kindergarten is an exciting time for children and their families! We welcome everyone to begin their learning journey with us at Mary Bergeron Elementary School. To ensure your child gets the best start in September, we have put together some information to help make your planning as smooth as possible. If you want to learn more, we invite you to call us at 780-723-5300. We would also be happy to arrange a personal tour of our Kindergarten classrooms with you and your child, as we want you both to be as comfortable as possible.
We are thrilled to offer a full five-day Kindergarten program at our school, of course, we also offer the flexibility of shorter weeks if this is more suitable to meet the needs of your child. Depending on how comfortable your child’s transition to school is, you can always make the decision to increase the days later in the year. At Mary Bergeron, we take pride in providing the best-individualized learning program to ensure educational success for every child.
