Preparing Your Child for Full-Day Kindergarten 🎒

Social/Emotional Tips for Families to

Prepare Your Child for Kindergarten

Welcome aboard!

Each week you will receive tips and resources to help your child prepare for this amazing journey! The North Penn School District is still currently planning what school will look like in the fall. Further information will be provided to families as we move into the summer. We are honored to partner with you and your child as they begin this school adventure at North Penn!

Today, we will discuss home and school connection...

Your child’s life outside of the school building is important to their overall development. Keeping in communication with your child’s teacher is important in supporting your child academically and emotionally. This can include any changes in their daily routines, positive things to emphasize with your child, and any other information that would support your child in school and at home.

Parents' Top Tips for Partnering With Your Child's School

At the beginning of the school year, every parent wonders about the new-to-you teacher. Will she understand your child’s individual learning or attention needs? Will she recognize your child’s special talents? Will this year be a successful collaboration between you and the teacher — or a struggle?

Unfortunately, there is no operating manual for your child that you can consult for easy answers to your questions. But you can learn from other parents who are experiencing the same situations. We asked parents, “What tried-and-true steps or strategies have you used to foster a positive, supportive relationship with your child’s teachers?” Here are their top-ten tips.
