Kindergarten Registration
Welcome to Kindergarten in Limestone. This is an exciting time for both you and your student. Kindergarten is a wonderful experience and your student’s next phase on their journey of learning.
Kindergarten programs in Ontario offer a full day of learning for four- and five-year-olds. Our Kindergarten program aims to nurture the whole child. In Kindergarten classrooms, a teacher and an early childhood educator work together as a team. This partnership helps to create a nurturing learning environment; giving every student the opportunity to learn in the way that is best suited to their individual strengths and needs.
We recognize this year has been different due to COVID-19, and we have learned a great deal from our experiences these past months. We are proud of the way our students and staff have responded to these challenges, and we continue to work closely with our partners at KFL&A Public Health to ensure health and safety protocols are in place and appropriate. The health and safety of students and staff is our priority.
You can feel confident your student will be cared for within safe and inclusive environments.
Fairfield Elementary School is ready to welcome your student to a wonderful new world of learning and growing. We very much look forward to meeting you and supporting you as you become part of the Limestone community.
If your student is 4 or 5 by the end of December, now is the time to register.

Recess
Boots, hats and mitts (when cold) ensure a more comfortable recess break. We go outside rain or shine and in cold weather. Please note that now that the weather is warming up and we anticipate rainy days, students will be welcomed into the school at 8:55am. There is no indoor supervision before school starts. As well, in the event of rain we will go outside for recess.

Parking Lot Concerns
We have many students who are driven to school and picked up each day. The parking lot is a busy place and we are kindly requesting that vehicles drive slowly in the parking lot. There have been a few "near misses" where cars are travelling too quickly.
As well, please be courteous to pedestrians who are walking and who cross at the entrance of the parking lot and across Kildare Avenue. Pedestrians should have the right of way.
A huge thanks to Loyalist Township for providing a crossing guard at Kildare & Manitou and at Kildare and Green.
Thank you for slowing down and helping to keep our students safe!
