Back to School:
It Will be Here Before You Know It!

With the start of a new school year typically comes a few questions, so here are a few FAQs
that we get each year:

Can I Meet My Child's New Teacher(s)?
Of course! We find that with busy schedules and differing transition times for various age groups it is hard to organize a new student orientation for each classroom. However, for our Preschool and PreK classrooms we will have a  Meet the Teacher night in September (date TBD). This will happen in early to mid September and will be a chance to put a face to a name and learn a little more about who your child will be spending his/her days with and what he/she will be doing. Look for more information coming late August.

For other classrooms in which children transition in at their birthday/half birthday, we invite you to email your child's teacher directly or the office to schedule a personal meet and greet time at everyone's convenience. Our door is always open.

What Should My Child Bring for the
New School Year?
If your child's teacher is looking for anything specific she will get in touch with you via email or Tadpoles to let you know of any special items to bring. Otherwise, we ask that your child come to school each day with a bag with the following items:

• Change of clothing (underwear and socks included)
• Nap items: one throw blanket (please no comforters or large quilts), a small cot-sized pillow, if desired and one lovey/security item. Some parents prefer to take these home each day or, if more convenient, we can store on your child's cot until his/her last day of the week at which point we ask that you take nap items home to be laundered.
• Your child will probably come home with lots of beautiful arts and crafts that he/she spent a lot of time creating. If you'd like to keep these organized and wrinkle-free a take-home folder may be helpful.

Where Should I Drop My Child Off
in the Morning?

What If My Child is Not in
His/Her Classroom at Pick-Up?
Fortunately for your little one we have a LOT of Kids First space at our disposal for many parts of the day. However, this space varies greatly from day to day and hour to hour. Because we have to work around many different programs' schedules the space Campus children have to use changes frequently. We will always do our best to write on a piece of paper or white board directly outside of the classroom where we are to save you searching time. Please get in the habit of checking these signs daily. If there is no sign and your child is MIA, he/she is most likely outside :)
