Full-Day Kindergarten Announced for Fort Frances

The new Robert Moore School will among two Fort Frances schools to offer full-day kindergarten in the fall of 2011.

Education Director for the Rainy River District School Board Heather Campbell says the new school will be prepared to handle the young students.

"When we designed the new Robert Moore we had already designed two additional classrooms to accommodate the early learning program," says Campbell. "Talking to our community partners we realize there will be great interest in Fort Frances so we definitely looked to the new school."

Early learning for four and five-year-olds will also be offered at St. Michael's School.

This fall the program will be offered in Atikokan at St. Patrick's School and North Star Community School.
