Kindergarten Recommendations
Since this first experience with school is so vital in developing a positive attitude toward school for years to come, we suggest the following: ● Before your child comes to kindergarten, always mention this experience with a smile and positive words so that he/she will anticipate it with eagerness and pleasure. We encourage you to be involved in your child’s kindergarten life. Discuss the day’s happenings, review any papers or projects brought home, admire his or her art activities, etc. ● Please label the inside of all of your child’s coats, gloves, hats, etc. Talk with him or her about responsibility for their belongings. Please remember every student’s clothes are the same. ● Each child needs to bring a backpack. This helps teach responsibility and organization. ABSOLUTELY NO ROLLING BACKPACKS ARE ALLOWED IN KINDERGARTEN . 15
