Welcome to Kildare School

It is with a great deal of pleasure that we welcome you to the new school year.  Kildare Elementary School has been in operation since 1968. The school is developing a tradition of excellence in all areas of learning and it is a pleasure to welcome you as a member of our school population.   Kildare School is an elementary school located in northeast Edmonton.

The school serves a broad range of students needs and is a designated site for a Chinese Mandarin Bilingual Program as well as an English Core Program.  Kildare's attendance area for the Bilingual Program (K to 6) is east of 82nd Street and north of the North Saskatchewan River. However, only students living on the north side of the river and east of Wayne Gretzky Drive are eligible for school bus transportation to Kildare School.  

Successful operation of a school requires the cooperation and understanding of everyone concerned: teachers, students, and parents.  As citizens of Kildare School, students will face both the problems and benefits of life in a small community. Each of us is responsible for doing our part to make it the type of community in which we can live and work together in harmony.  We must learn to respect the strengths and weaknesses of others, to communicate our wishes and intentions to each other and to carry out our responsibilities by doing our tasks to the best of our abilities.  

SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY 
At Kildare school we believe all students should experience success and become independent learners and responsible citizens.  We value consideration for each child and believe that each student has the right to a quality education.  There is an emphasis throughout the school on excellence in academics in the core subjects.   Assessing, evaluating and communicating student achievement are important components of student learning.

KILDARE SCHOOL STATEMENT

At Kildare School we value consideration for each student and believe that each child has the right to a quality education.  We strive to work closely with parents in order that the home and school may cooperate to help students succeed.  There is an emphasis throughout the school on excellence in academics and on the acquisition of basic skills in reading, language development, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Computer Technology, Music, Art and Physical Education.
