Information For New Parents

[Guest]

We have got a meeting in two weeks time for the parents of the new reception children. I was just wondering what other schools give out at these meetings, as the head would like me to put together some general information about the foundation stage and anything else I feel relevant (probably as a handout). I am currently an NQT and feeling a bit anxious about the parents meeting. Any ideas would be great.

 

Thanks x

Hi, have you tried a search? There have been quite a few posts on this sort of thing recently.

Have you got enough info or are you still stuck.I am happy to help if you are, we do quite a lot of work with parents in this respect and i have a few ideas. Let me know if you need any - if i'm not too late.

I know the feeling! It's a good time for reminders - there are many so I typed up a generic list and put onto chairs before people arrived.

 

Times / Dates for start + holidays

Contact details and proceedures

Times that are best to see you + other ways of communicating e.g. Reading Record

Labelling EVERYTHING, water bottle, book bag, coat, hats, gloves.

Parent volunteers

Plus activties they can do to help their child feel positive - e.g. choosing pack lunch and making together, trying on uniform and PE kit (good practice!) choosing books from the Library about school.

 

Oh and I found this lovely booklet posted by somebody before - very useful.
