Students will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with their teachers and classroom environments before the first day of school, which can reduce anxiety and help students feel more comfortable and confident.

Gaining an understanding of the teachers› approach, expectations, and classroom policies will provide parents with the information they need to support their child›s learning.
