Dear IHPS Families,
Last year, the Primary School made some significant changes to the beginning of the school year that are aimed at ensuring a smooth start to the year based on a strong family-teacher-child relationship. We hope that you have seen the many social media posts and emails to help you understand that next week will look different for Primary School children and families.
A summary of important details to note:
- A link to the calendar of your child's teacher was sent in the placement letter last Friday. You are responsible for making an appointment with your child's teacher on the 22nd or 23rd of August. These one-on-one appointments are the foundation for a strong year together. Expect to be in the building approximately one hour on that day. Only one family member needs attend the appointment.
- Because parents and children meet their teachers at the one-on-one appointment, there is NO meet-the-teacher morning event on 8/22 (as there is for the ES).
- On Tuesday, August 22nd, Parent Information Night is held at the Primary School and is a parent-only event designed to help parents and caregivers understand what to expect from the school year (grade level times are listed above). Important details such as lunch times and field trip information will be shared from each teacher. For each grade level time, the evening will begin in the auditorium with an introduction from the the principal and assistant principal before moving onto your child's classroom for a presentation from the teacher. You do NOT need to sign up for this event.
- PS students will attend their first day of school on August 25th.
Please enjoy this week's linked video for a visual reminder of these details.
As always call the office if you have questions about the PS Smarter Start or any other details pertaining to your child. You can reach us at (513)272-4754.
Thank you,
Dr. Erin Owens
Principal
Indian Hill Primary School
