Meet the new teacher before the first day of school
Bringing your new kindergartener or grade-schooler in to meet the teacher before school starts is a really good idea. Our school district holds a special orientation day for parents and students a few days before school.
It was great to meet the new teacher and classmates at the same time, but we also "stopped by" the classroom the day before school, while the teacher putting the finishing touches on the classroom, for a few minutes of one-on-one time.
Being able to talk to his teacher made all the difference for my son, who was pretty nervous about starting grade school for the very first time.
