Director's Comments
We send home Friday folders each week which contain student work and notes from the teachers. We also send home observation reports and our weekly teaching plan with themes and highlights. We hold two family nights per year where parents come to work with their children and the children give demonstrations. We have held non-violent communciation classes for our families. Lastly, we do conferences with parents in the fall and in the spring.
Separation
Beginning of the year separation is handled through:
- Pre-entry meetings with parents at school
- Small group sessions
- Extra staff dedicated to handle separation
- Parents in classroom early on
- Abbreviated schedule at start of school year

We like to keep parents informed about their child if there are seperation problems.Working directly with families to get through this time has given us positive results in this area.
