First Day
• Please try not to cry in front of your child. We
do not want them to think school is a scary place.
• If your child is upset on the first day, the faster
you give them hugs and say goodbye, the faster
they will stop crying when you leave.
• I will be here and another teacher will
be here to hug/hold anyone that needs it while
you slip out.
