[quote=Anonymous]My kid is a junior now, but when she was starting MCPS kindergarten a dozen years ago, they had two introductions to the school.

In the spring before they started K, there would be a day (maybe two?) where the kindergartners had the day off (but grades 1-5 didn’t), and the kindergarten teachers would welcome kids from the next year’s class. They also had information about things like before/after care, signing up for FARMS, and joining the PTA. This was all combined with a registration drive, to encourage families enroll their kids well before the start of school in the Fall. I’m pretty sure they referred to this the Kindergarten Open House.

Then, the week before school started in August, they’d have Kindergarten Orientation, where kids could come see their specific classroom and meet their assigned teacher. This way, all the specific stuff would be fresh in their minds when school started the following week, and they’d easily remember where to go and who their teachers would be. [/quote]
