Does your child have any medical problems we should be aware of? (i.e. allergies to food or insects, hay fever,
asthma, existing illnesses, previous serious illness or injuries, hospitalizations during the past 12 months or any 
medications prescribed for long term, continuous illness, etc..)

What arrangements have you made for child care when your child is ill and you are unable to leave work at any
particular time?

___________________________________________________________________________________

Since we will spend a considerable amount of time with your child during the week, we feel it is important to 
know as much about him/her as possible. This is especially helpful to the teacher during the first few weeks
of school. The teacher can utilize this information in making the child's adjustment easier. This is also important 
when the child is feeling ill or just homesick. Please tell us about your child likes, dislikes, habits, favorite stuffed 
animals, or any other pertinent information that might help make the transition to our school a little easier.

PARENT CONFERENCES AND PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

Parent/Teacher conferences will be held every nine weeks to review your child's learning portfolio. Parental 
involvement is essential to our school and to the quality of your child's education so we ask that you take an 
active role in our school. We would love to have you donate any special skills or talents with us. We will have 
monthly parent group meetings in the evenings as well as many other ways to become involved in our school. 
We will be sending different forms of communication home every day and we encourage parents to spend as 
much time as they can at our school.
