All kindergarten students will be participating in a 5 week skating program at The Jack Byrne Arena in Torbay. The program will run from January 27th – March 9th and all students are expected to participate.
Skating instruction will be provided for all students and CSA approved hockey or figure skating helmets are mandatory. Other helmets such as bicycle helmets do not provide appropriate protection for ice skating. Students will need mittens or gloves and layered clothing is preferred so the students are warm but have appropriate mobility to skate.
There is a one time cost of $35.00 per student which covers all costs (ice rental, busing, instructor fees). If you have any concerns regarding this cost, please contact our administration to discuss. Skating fees are due this Wednesday, January 14th.
We are in the process of collecting used skates and helmets to be loaned to students who are in need of equipment. If you have, or know of anyone who has any that can be donated to the school, please send them along. If you are in need of skates or a helmet, please let us know as soon as possible and we will try our best to help.
All kindergarten students will attend the morning session only for the days when skating is scheduled. As each skating day approaches, we will be looking for a small number of volunteers to accompany us and assist where necessary. Specific details and sign up information will be sent home prior to each session.
Our skating days are scheduled for:
Tuesday January 27th 9:30 - 10:30
Tuesday February 10th 9:30 - 10:30
Tuesday February 24th 9:30 - 10:30
Tuesday March 3rd 9:30 - 10:30
Monday March 9th 9:30 - 10:30
