Getting ready for changes can help the transition to kindergarten easier for everyone!
- Gather necessary paperwork. You'll need to provide a birth certificate with at least one parent name who is registering the child. Immunization records will be needed also.
- Complete registration forms. You can find all the registration paperwork here. Return them as soon as possible to the school or email them to [email protected]
- Mark your calendar. Look for deadlines and events, like kindergarten registration deadlines or back to school nights.
- Talk with your child’s preschool teacher and/or ask the internet for tips! Find out how you can support your child’s transition from pre-K to Kindergarten. Here's one source, but there are many more you can find on the web.
- Give your child opportunities to make choices. Provide chances for your child to follow directions, listen, and follow rules.
- Build excitement. Talk to your child and read books about school and this new adventure.
