Registration for children entering kindergarten this September began this week in Abbotsford.
Kids who turn five before Jan. 1, 2012 are eligible to start kindergarten this fall. Whereas many Abbotsford kindergarten classes this year remained half-day programs, all classes will be a full day beginning in September.
Registration can be done at your nearest elementary school. For your catchment area, visit www.sd34.bc.ca/sidebar/parents/kindergarten_registration/ or call 604-859-4891.
French immersion registration takes place in person at Centennial Park, Clearbrook, Margaret Stenersen and Sandy Hill elementaries.
