r Beginners9 Day
> The first day of school can be a
• frightening experience for kinder
Z gartners and first graders who are
' attending school for the first time.
£ That’s why CMS elementary schools
» start preparing youngsters with a
“ series of Beginners’ Days each
i spring. This year, Beginners’ Days
begfh Monday, April 28, and end
’ Friday, May 9.
During Beginners' Day, parents
; and their children are invited to visit
their school, meet the principal and
staff and register for the coming
| school year.
“The primary goal of Beginners’
Day is to make the transition from
. home or pre-school to public school a
; happy, successful one for the child
• and parent," says Beth Bass, early
! childhood education specialist.
’ j “This first experience allows them
to become familiar with their new
• school home. This familiarity
helps to insure that children will feel
! eager, as well as comfortable, on
; that first day.”
'' To register their child, parents
: should bring their child’s birth certi
- ficate (or other acceptable proof of
• age) and an immunization record
i signed by a physician.
! Parents may call their child’s
; assigned school to find out details.
