The River East Transcona School Division is set to help assist in transitioning students into kindergarten.

Parents whose children will be entering kindergarten in 2013 are invited to Preschool Growing and Learning Days to help provide a sense of the school and its administration and staff. There will be games and activities for children, and parents will have the opportunity to get their children’s vision and hearing tested.

The event for children entering Margaret-Underhill, Wayoata, Radisson or Harold Hatcher will be held at Ecole Margaret-Underhill (25 Regina Pl.) on April 17 from 2 to 6 p.m.
For children entering Lord Wolseley, Neil Campbell, Polson, Prince Edward or Angus McKay, the event will be held at Lord Wolseley (939 Henderson Hwy.) on April 24 from 2 to 6 p.m.

Those entering Springfield Heights, John Pritchard, Donwood, Princess Margaret or Sun Valley are invited to Springfield Heights (505 Sharron Bay) on May 1 from 2 to 6 p.m., while the meetup for those entering Bird’s Hill, Dr. Hamilton, Maple Leaf, or Emerson will be held at Bird’s Hill (3950 Raleigh St.) on May 8 from 2 to 6 p.m.

Students entering B.E. Glavin, Sherwood, Hampstead, or Salisbury Morse Place are invited to an event at B.E. Glavin (166 Antrim Rd.) on May 16 from 2 to 6 p.m., while the final session, for students entering Westview, Centrale, John de Graff, Joseph Teres, and Bernie Wolfe, will be held at Westview (600 Hoka St.) on May 29 from 2 to 6 p.m.
