At the Hazeldean Branch we registered almost 800 children for the TD Summer Reading Club and over the summer, they reported reading over 10,000 books. Some of the children also attended programs this summer to feed their passions in reading, writing, science, innovation, art and lots more. The Ottawa Public Library offers free programs all year round. Here are some of the programs happening this fall at the Hazeldean Branch.

We will have to continue to stay off the kindergarten yard and do the pick up/drop off at the gym doors until the paving is completed. In the meantime, we will continue to use the soccer field behind the portables for outdoor time. We have also opened the gym at recess for kindergarten classes so your child may have some time in there.

Orange Shirt Day is a growing movement sweeping across Canada that is helping to educate our students and communities on the history and legacy of Canadian Residential Schools.

Starting Kindergarten is an exciting adventure for children and their families. It is a new beginning for you and your child. Children will develop relationships, independence, confidence, and the behaviours and attitudes that will ensure their success in school.
