Registration = Frustration

I see Kindergarten registration as an opportunity to get to know my incoming students and their families, and use the interview as a “teachable moment”. For some students, it will be the only time I will ever meet with their parents. I am frustrated by the limited amount of time I am able to spend with each family. I give each family a written packet of information including forms for a check-up, forms for a dental exam, Health Office policy, and community health resources. I have most of my paperwork translated into Spanish so I can better communicate with the large Hispanic population here.

Allison,
Bringing the family into their child’s education is a major element in the next generation of education. Our students are only in school 19% of the time. The other 81% is in the company of parents. They can have a huge influence on our success in the classroom.
