[quote=Anonymous]Already starting to think about the first day of school for my soon-to-start kindergartener. Some background: DH and I work full time. DD has been in preschool and in daycare since she was 9 months, but transitions can be hard and she can be quite shy in new situations. She did OK at kindergarten orientation, but DH & I were right by her side.

I'm wondering about that first week of school and whether I should put her on the bus or drop her off. Sometimes, she says she wants to ride the bus, but I'm pretty sure she will back out of that the closer we get to the first day. The bus stop is literally one house down from ours; we can see it from the front yard. I'm thinking about dropping her off the first few years, but then I'm worried that if I do that, after the first week, she won't want me to stop dropping her off. And actually, pretty sure I could swing it, then go to work. But she will have to ride the bus in the afternoon, to bring her home and to aftercare, so I guess it would be good practice for her to ride it every day.

Also, what is the drill the first few days? I had heard they won't let parents in the building to drop kids off at the classrooms. Will I have to leave her at the door with someone to usher her in?

Please share your experiences and thoughts. Thank you.
