Hello StrongStart Families,

I hope you were able to enjoy the summer months and explore our beautiful province.  Even if that was just in your own backyard!

I have had the privilege  of supporting the Kindergarten teachers last week and this week through the gradual entry process.  What a joy to see the children create new relationships with each other and their teachers.

We are still figuring out what StrongStart looks like during this time.  So currently I will be reaching out and available by phone and email. (beth.bosnick@burnabyschools.ca.)  I will once again be posting relevant and  helpful things for you here on my blog.  If you subscribe to my blog (you will find this on the right side of the screen)  you will receive an email each time there is a new post. This saves you always checking my blog to see if there is anything new.

Below is a copy of what the district presently has posted about StrongStart.  If anything changes you can find that information by visiting:

WELCOME TO BURNABY SCHOOLS STRONGSTART BC
EARLY LEARNING CENTRES

In September 2020, Burnaby StrongStart BC programs will continue to engage in outreach to families via emails, phone calls, and offering StrongStart services online.

There is currently no in-person StrongStart BC programs in Burnaby Schools.

We are looking into a variety of options that will enable us to offer in-person StrongStart BC programs. Programs will be at reduced capacity that are consistent with Stage 2 of the K-12 Education Restart Plan. “Reduced capacity” means that we will limit the number of families attending in order to maintain safe physical distancing. We will also reduce the number of hours per day and/or days per week of StrongStart BC operations to accommodate cleaning and disinfecting protocols.

Please continue to visit our website for the latest updates. We look forward to when we can welcome you back in person!

I miss you all,

Teacher Beth
