Kindergarten: Children Ready for School Part 5

The last post about kindergarten is how to prepare families for kindergarten.  The entire family will have to adjust to the new schedule and demands of kindergarten.

Families that are ready for the partnership of kindergarten when they:

• Provide opportunities for their child to read, write, and talk at home.
• Follow procedures for preschool screening.
• Complete kindergarten registration in a timely manner.
• Attend informational events and workshops.
• They visit school.

It is important for parents and caregivers to have open lines of communication with their child's kindergarten teacher.  You can make connections by visiting the school, meeting the principal and the teacher, and staying in touch with the teacher with a simple e-mail or phone call.

Now it's time to relax and enjoy the precious time before school starts!
