OTHER INFORMATION


Home Visits/Open House/Conferences

We will come on a home visit before school starts to help your child's transition to preschool easier. We also will have an open house before school starts so you and your child can see their classroom before the first day! We will have two conferences a year, as we follow the NFV conference schedule. At these conferences we will talk about your child’s progress and goals for the future. Early Childhood Special Education students will also have an annual IEP (Individualized Education Plan) meeting in addition to conferences.


Field Trips/Guest Speakers/Guest Readers

Our class will go on field trips that relate to topics of study and to utilize community resources. You will have the chance to attend field trips with us as a parent volunteer. If you are unable to attend another family member is welcome to join. If you have a place of work or interest that you think would make a great field trip for our class, or would like to be a guest speaker, just let me know. Children always love having their parents or other family members come in to be a guest reader or have lunch with them on their birthday! Please just let us know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly. All volunteers need to complete a background check (form availabe at West Union Elementary) before volunteering as well! 


Holiday Parties/Birthdays

We will celebrate your child’s birthday (or half birthday if it falls in months we aren’t in school) and make their day special. If you’d like to send special treats for their birthday, that is fine. You could also come in and help make the treats with our class, as we have a cooking center. We are not able to send home invitations for any home parties from school. We are also not allowed to have any home baked treats. Thanks in advance for understanding! 


If your family doesn’t celebrate holidays or birthdays for religious or other reasons, please let us know; and we will honor that with alternate activities. You will be able to sign up to help with parties at open house.
