If you do not see your child on Instagram and would like to, please complete the annual authorization form on myCBE/SchoolEngage 

Reminder:  Polar Bear Days 

When it is a “Polar Bear Day”, and the windchill is colder than –20, we will open up the doors at 8:15 AM.  You will see a picture of a polar bear on the door, and a “door is open – come in!” message – just like we did today.  We do not want children to wait outside on cold days.  Thank you for communicating this to your child!  

Reminder: Kindergarten Open House & Registration for 2026-2027 

Do you have a child turning 5 by December 31, 2026?  If so, we would love to have them at Belfast School for kindergarten! 

We invite all prospective kindergarten families to join us for our Kindergarten Open House on Thursday, January 15, from 6:00-7:00 PM.  The evening will include:    

  • A short presentation and overview of the kindergarten program at Belfast 
  • A fun scavenger hunt that will allow you and your child to explore the school 
  • Current kindergarten students & parents available to share their experiences 
  • Engaging centres in the kindergarten room for your child to explore 
  • The opportunity to meet staff and ask questions  

While parents attend the presentation, our Grade 5/6 certified babysitters and some of our amazing teachers will keep our future kindergarten students entertained in the gym.  If your child is nervous about leaving you, no worries – they can stay with you for the presentation!  More information about the open house can be found here  

If you are unable to make the Open House, you can always reach out to book a school tour.  We love having families visit during the day to see what our school is all about!      

Kindergarten registration begins online January 12 for all CBE schools.  You can learn more about the registration process here and set up your online registration account here. 

 

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have anything you would like to share.   

Have a wonderful weekend, 
Meagan Lundgren
