Hi Friends!

What Are "Home Visits?"

Home visits allow us to come to your home to begin building a relationship with your child & ease any questions or fears they have about starting school. These visits are typically 10-15 minutes long. They are NOT mandatory. 

What does a "Staggered Start" look like?

The first week of school looks different for only Kindergarten. Monday & Tuesday are reserved for home visits. On Wednesday we will welcome our first half of our class. Thursday the second half will be welcomed. Friday all students will come to class and continue on regularly from then on.

What is the purpose of a "Staggered Start?"

The first day of school can be overwhelming or overstimulating, especially for 5 year olds. This helps us ease the children into our schedule in a small group setting as we go over procedures and rules. The whole class then joins together on Friday and are now familiar with their school day and friends. 

Can I walk my child to class on their first day?

Of course! You can walk your child in on their first staggered day of school and on Friday September 1st. Afterwards, students will be expected to walk into the building by themselves. This makes transitions from parents easier for us as well as promoting independency to the little ones. But no worries, we will be right outside our classrooms waiting to greet the kids!
