St. Martin School News Kindergarten Registration 2017-2018
Although it seems early, St .Martin School have
already had inquiries about kindergarten for the
2017 – 2018 school year.
If you have a child who will be five years of age
before March 1, 2018, your child will be eligible to
attend kindergarten in the 2017 – 2018 school year.
Registration for September, 2017 opens January
16, 2017
Although we operate independently from St. Martin
School, we enjoy very good relationships with the
Administration, teachers, and students. We are given
storage space, access to the gym and playground, use
of the school lobby, use of the Dance Academy, and
much more. Additionally, Kalyna Kids students are
included in most school special events. We also
coordinate with St. Martin to transition children
between the school and our Program, to enhance our
Program, and to avoid duplicating of fundraising
efforts.
Therefore, we ask you to extend your courtesy to St.
Martin school by helping keep the lobby clean, and by
supporting their events and fundraisers.

Songs
Раз, два – всі присіли,
Потім вгору підлетіли,
Три, чотири – нахилились
І водичкою умились,
П’ять, шість –всі веселі
Крутимось на каруселі.
Сім , вісім - в поїзд сіли,
Ніжками затупотіли.
Дев’ять , десять- руки в боки
Покажемо наші скоки!
Черепаха - аха-аха
у воді сиділа-діла,
Черепа-ха - аха
свої ніжки мила-ила.
Крокодили-дили-дили
пропливали-али-али,
Черепа-ху-аху
налякали-али-али.
Понад нею гуси-уси
Пролітали-али-али
Черепа-ху-аху
налякали-али-али.
Черепаха - аха-аха
на камінчик сіла-іла,
Черепа-ха – аха
перелякано тремтіла.
Печу, печу хлібчик
Дітям на обідчик,
Більшому – більший,
Меншому – менший,
А потім - на лопатку і в піч –
Сажай –виймай,
сажай – виймай
І ріж, а потім - їж! Гам!

DROP-INS for EVENTS (Playschool and KE)
This applies to field trips, activities, photo day, concerts, and any other special event.
For Playschool/KE, your child may attend for the entire class with no drop-in fee - this is preferred, as it is less disruptive to all the students. You also are not required to fill out the Drop-in Form (we anticipate extra students on these days). However, please let the teachers know that your child is attending.
If you want to attend on an activity day for the activity only, wait in the lobby until the teachers open the doors to let you in (please don't knock on the doors).
If your child normally attends in the afternoon and comes to a morning activity or field trip, they cannot stay for the entire day, as our license does not permit this (unless they are in OSC).
