Due to the large number of siblings being accepted into the school under our sibling policy, we are sorry to say there are no spaces in JK through to Grade 4, and only 5 spaces in the Grade 5 and 6 class for the 2010-2011 school year. Parents can apply under optional attendance for Grades 5 and 6 by bringing applications directly to the school. All other applications (JK-Grade 4) will be placed directly on a waitlist through a lottery process.
The deadline for all applications is February 19th – any applications received after February 19th will automatically be placed at the back of the waitlist.

Thank you for your interest in Whole Child Alternative School. We encourage you to continue following our website, which will be upgraded in the near future.

Dear Parents,
This message is to let you know that a decision has been made to cancel the Whole Child School Open House scheduled for January 26th. Due to the extremely high number of sibling registration numbers and the 2010-2011 staffing allocation for our school, there are very few spots available at any of our grade levels. We will still be accepting registrations through the office, where applicants will be added to a Waitlist for next year.
We are sensitive to our larger school community and understand there will be disappointment about the registration situation this year. The decision to cancel the Open House is necessary as we do not wish to raise expectations around registration availability that we cannot fulfill. We don’t expect this issue in subsequent years and hope our school supporters will continue to follow the development and growth of WCS as future opportunities to enroll their children may become available.
Please pass this message along to any parents you know who were planning to attend our Open House. We will be updating the message on our website and Jodi Armstrong will continue to pass along this information to any parents who directly contact the WCS office.
Sincerely,
Shari Walczak
Co-Chair, WCS School Council

Since a large part of the Whole Child School curriculum involves being outside, the Exterior Space committee set up a Clothing sub-committee to research how to best outfit our kids to be outside, and to try to make equipping them easier for our parent community. Although we wanted to cover all outdoor clothing that might be needed for the school year, we were only able focus on rain gear, thermal underwear and winter boots.
Here’s what we found out …
