First Day of School Info!

First Day of School

Welcome to school, your child's place to learn and grow!! This is a marker in your child's life and hopefully will be a pleasant and memorable one. 

This year we are having a Sneak Peak of your child’s playground with some information about Smith School. 

Here are some suggestions of things you may do to prepare for the first day jitters-

1.   Visit the playground and school just to 'check it out'(sneak a peak).

2.Let them help you prepare their lunch and snack, pack their bag (no backpacks), and talk about how fun it was when you went to school.

**3.Have your child bring a picture of you to look at when they miss you. They can carry it anywhere they want.

4.Tell them how proud you are that they too are doing their 'job' just like big people.

5.When it comes time to say good bye be happy, let them know you will see them in a bit, then hug, kiss and go.  Walk away, go on… and know they will be safe in my room.

Where do I go -

2023 - You will be sent information through ParentSquare.

Your child will be notified Parent Square for their teacher assignment. 

September Sneak a Peak –

All K's and parents will be having a brief informal meet and greet in the K playground with students only in the classroom. (Back to School Night will have more info about academics, schedules, and school.) This will help your child and you transition into the school day. 

**Parents make sure to sign in and mark how your child will be going home.**

The first 2 days(7th, 8th) parents can walk and drop off at the classroom. On Friday have them lead the way makingsure they can find their way to the Room 4. The rest of the year drop off is at 14th street stairs. gates. 

·       Remember to give them a cheerful hug and kiss goodbye when it is time to go. If there are criers, please drop off at the office on 17th Street if noone is there to help

2.  I will have the kiddies at the blue dots on the ground.

released. Make sure they know who is picking up.

I apologize ahead of time but until I can place faces with students it is safer this way. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
