The first few days of school are known as “Phase-In.” During a transition period children will meet their new teachers and classmates, and are gradually familiarized with school and classroom routines. Parents or guardians will receive a specific schedule for your child's transition. If you are in doubt as to whether you should leave the classroom ask your child’s teacher. One parent is expected to be available for portions of Phase-In to meet their children’s teachers and to fill out appropriate forms. The length of time it takes before your child attends a full schedule will depend on the age and the individual child. Children are all unique.
