A-B-C you in Kindergarten at J.R. Reid School

Hello to all our Kindergarten Parents/Guardians and Students! 

Each year, an introductory A-B-C you in kindergarten event is held at every school.  Once you have registered your child for kindergarten, our school will send you an invitation to attend the event.

In addition to the scheduled event, each registered student will receive a new A-B-C You in Kindergarten Learning Bag, which will include general information related to kindergarten programming, activities, and materials to support literacy and numeracy skills.

Is my child eligible for transportation? 

Families are responsible for transporting their child to and from school. Students qualify for transportation if they reside 1.6 km or greater distance from their catchment area school. All of J.R. Reid's catchment is within walking distance.   

If your child requires transportation services because of a special need (e.g. wheelchair), please contact your child’s school directly. 

If you have any other questions, please reach out to us directly:
