First Day of School
2024-09-03 09:00 - 11:00 (America/Edmonton)
A very warm welcome to the 2024/2025 school year! We are thrilled to embark on a new school
year filled with learning, growth, and His joy. Our dedicated staff has been working diligently to
ensure a successful year, and we eagerly await the return of our students to campus.
We look forward to partnering with you in supporting your child’s education.

The first day of school will be a short day from 9AM – 11 AM. Here are a few other reminders…

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures: When entering the parking lot, please turn right and follow the flow of traffic to turn left and drop off your children at the grass area in front of the schoo. Pull up closely to the curb to avoid confusion and ensure the safety of yours and other children. Drive slowly and watch for pedestrians. If you are walking your child to the school please park on the gravel side of the parking lot. We call this procedure our “Kiss and Go.”

School Supplies: All classrooms are equipped with the necessary supplies. Students will need indoor non-marking shoes, a water bottle, a backpack, and daily lunch/snacks (we are a nut aware school, not nut free unless specified by the classroom). Students in Grade 7 and up will also need a KCA gym shirt—more information to follow.

Dress Code: KCA implements a dress code that all parents agree to upon registration. Please see the attached document outlining the dress code policy.

School Theme: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. — Hebrews 11:1
