[quote=Anonymous]Find out what the rules/culture is at your school. At our MCPS school, the rule is that you can walk your K-er to the classroom and wait with them in the hall on the first day of school ONLY. As a result, most of the K kids do have a parent waiting there and taking pictures. I took the morning off work for my kid, as she was new to the neighborhood and I didn't want her to have the added anxiety of not having a parent there when most other kids did. But after first day, I encourage you to encourage her to ride the bus. It's a big independence thing; there may be other new K students and they usually all sit together; it provides a nice social environment that crosses classes (so when she sees that 3rd grader on the playground, they know her as the K-er from the bus); and next year she'll be the "big kid" on the bus that can help the new K-ers feel comfortable and welcome. Plus drop-off is an utter madhouse. [/quote]
