SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE

Chilliwack School District hosts kindergarten open house events

Feb 21, 2025 | 11:30 AM

CHILLIWACK — Early learning schools across SD33 are opening their doors to kids ready to take their first steps into the classroom next school year.

Registration is open for Ready, Set, Explore– a series of open houses at elementary schools throughout the Chilliwack School District. The event helps children and their families meet staff, take a tour and participate in early learning activities at their future school.

This year’s theme? Dinosaurs.

“These events support the transition into school in a fun and family-oriented way,” said Karen Allan, Early Literacy Coordinator. “Our schools are ready to meet each child where they are, providing a nurturing, play-based environment that supports each child’s strengths and needs.”

The next events are held at East Chilliwack and Greendale Elementary Schools. More dates and times are available here.
