First Day of Classes
Our first day of classes is September 1, 2022 and the school office is open to parents on August 29, 2022. Teaching staff will be reaching out to families on August 30 to make introductions so that you are aware who your child's teacher will be for the 2022-23 school year.
Our Kindergarten students will have staggered entry on September 1 and 2 - timings for staggered entry have been emailed to individual families. Essentially this means not all Kindergarten students will start school on the same day. Depending on student's last name the date/time of attendance will be different for September 1 and 2 only. Please refer to the e-mail which was sent to you in June for exact date/time of attendance for your child. Please reach out to the School Office if you have questions about Kindergarten staggered entry.
Regular Kindergarten classes will begin on September 6, 2022. Kindergarten families, please meet your teacher at the front door.

School Supplies
Woodbine School provides students with basic student supplies these will be distributed to students in the first few days of school. Parents are asked to provide students with a large backpack, indoor shoes (velcro if your student cannot tie shoe laces), water bottle and a peanut free lunch (if you are part of the Lunch Supervision program, Grades 1-6 and staying at school for lunch) and a healthy snack. Indoor shoes are brought to school the first day of school and left at school. Many backpacks and shoes look alike; please label ALL student possessions.
