Get Ready for Kindergarten!

Welcome to our St. John Jaguar Graduates of 2031!! 

We are so excited to have you join our St. John Catholic School community!  We have an amazing group of educators in Kindergarten that can’t wait to have your son/daughter join their class!! 

 

Having a child start kindergarten is an exciting, yet scary time!  To help answer some of your questions, we have created this page with some very important resources.  Please take the time to read through and watch the videos. 

 

Meet our Kindergarten Team!  If you have any questions at any time, please feel free to reach out to the school at 519-848-2445, or any member of the Kindergarten team.
