[quote=Anonymous]Big deep breaths.  Our school (Claremont) has a terrific PTA, so they have already tried to reach out to the rising K class.  Several families have already offered to host playdates over the summer for the kids going into K.  The PTA helps organize this a little.

One thing to keep in mind is that the kindergarten teachers KNOW that your sweet 5 year old doesn't know jack sh*t about how elementary school works.  That will be the main thing they work on the first few days, just acclimating to school and the new routines.  This includes buying lunch!  Lunch if not free next year, so she will need money on her account.  This information will be sent to you before school starts, but probably not until the middle of August.

So, sit tight and wait until August.  Reach out to your school's PTA to see if there is a Facebook page of the like.  Most schools have an open house the week before school starts, so plan on attending that.

And mostly, buckle up for a LOT less information coming home from the teachers.  This is just what school is like![/quote]
