Talking with Your Child About the First Day of School

Please talk to your child about . . .

How he or she will be going home (bus #, car rider or after care). The Kindergarteners usually do not know how they are supposed to go home on the first day of school.

Staying with our class; I will also talk to the students about this in school.

If they are buying or packing lunch. Kindergarteners also don’t usually understand the concept of buying or packing a lunch.

When going to the bathroom remember to flush, wash (use soap) and dry hands, put paper towels in the trashcan, and go straight back to the classroom.
