Spend some time with other parents!
If your schedule allows, try to set aside a little time
to get to know the other parents in your child's
class.  In years past, some parents have organized a
quick weekly get-together for coffee during
preschool hours.  This is an invaluable opportunity
to network and build support for your family and
school.
Parent Involvement
Several opportunities will be offered
during the school year to acquaint
parents with our program. In
September there is an Orientation
Night for parents to meet the
teachers and see the classroom. On
the first day of school, a parent
comes with each child to class. In
the middle of the school year,
teacher-parent conferences are
scheduled. Room visits are
encouraged and parents may share
their time and talents throughout the
year if they wish. There are two open
houses during the year intended for
the whole family.
While there are many opportunities to
become involved with your child's class
during the day, we understand that many
parents are not available during school
hours.  To facilitate greater
communication among parents and staff
we also schedule evening events, send
home newsletters, and update our
website with current information about
your child's classroom activities.
