This evening is highly recommended by previous audiences! So please join us for an evening of discussion with Elementary School panelists including current Kindergarten parents, teachers and guidance counselors.
You will learn how to prepare your new student for their school experience and yourself for navigating the school years. Topics will include what to do if they cry, preparing for the first day, clothing, supplies, fears, buses, adjusting to being at school, and communicating with teachers. We will also address how to get ready as parents for this big change. This is an interactive presentation, so come with your questions.
This is NOT a presentation on school academics and curriculum, but rather an opportunity for parents to ask other parents and specialists what it is like to start kindergarten and how to address the challenges of being a new elementary school student and/or parent. Suggestions on how parents can work with their children in the upcoming months and through the summer so that they are ready for kindergarten in September will be shared.
