Welcome to School: Questions Parents Might Ask.
Darby, Linda; Dorfman, Cynthia Hearn; LeGrand, Bob; Miranda, Simone; Sheedy, Christopher; Silverman, Kim; Vespucci, Barbara
This pamphlet is designed to serve as a prompt for principals and teachers to help them anticipate questions parents might ask when they send their children to school for the first time or when they enroll their children in a different school. The pamphlet can also serve as a checklist for parents as they become involved with their children's education. Questions are organized by different levels of schooling, from preschool to high school. Preschool questions include those related to fostering social skills, preparing children for kindergarten, and helping with the transition to kindergarten. Elementary school questions address curriculum, parental involvement, and measuring children's academic and social progress. Questions for middle schools cover class size, the role of the guidance counselor, the transition to high school, and preparation for college. High school questions cover guidance available regarding course selection, college selection and preparation, and participation in technology events. General questions address school policy issues such as homework, promotion, prevention programs, absences, and computers. (LPP)
