We are getting more and more excited to see your children on Monday and begin to build those special Teacher/Child relationships! But first, we have a couple of things we are required to have your participation in:
Parent Orientation is REQUIRED for all families to have at least one parent/guardian attend before the start of school. We have two times available on Thursday 8/19 to try to make this convenient for you: 9:00 a.m. or 6:30 p.m. Children are not required to attend this, but child care will be available on site for those who need it. YOUR CHILD CANNOT ATTEND SCHOOL UNTIL THIS IS COMPLETE.
Teacher Home Visit is also REQUIRED before your child can attend their first day. This gives Ms. Tosha a chance to meet with your child in a familiar environment and with you present. This helps children feel more comfortable with their teacher on the first day of school and can help lessen any separation anxiety they may feel. We will also take a few pictures of your family during this visit so that your child has them to look at during school when they are missing you. Ms. Tosha will be contacting each of you to arrange a time for her to come visit.
-- Please note- we're NOT coming to inspect your home! We are parents too and we know that kids make messes and parents are often busy! Please don't feel any anxiety over a "lived-in" house :)
