Starting kindergarten is so exciting!
A note for parents
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Your little one is growing up and will soon be starting school! This activity calendar is
packed with ideas to help prepare your child for a positive school experience.
In this calendar, you will find suggestions for activities that focus on developing healthy
habits and learning, colors, numbers, letters, and more. Each activity is designed to
build confidence and set the stage for successful learning. Don’t worry if your child
needs help to complete an activity or if they are not yet able to do an activity; you can
always come back to it later.
The most important thing is spending time together preparing for school. The time you
spend with your child reading, going for walks, and talking together is the most valuable
investment you will make in their education.
Having fun is an important part of learning! Your child learns best when doing fun and
interesting things with you.
This calendar is a partnership between:

ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Many of our youngest students miss 10 percent of the school year—about 18 days a year or just two days every month.
Chronic absenteeism in kindergarten, and even preK, can predict lower test scores, poor attendance and retention in later
grades, especially if the problem persists for more than a year. Do you know how many young children are chronically
absent in your school or community?
What families can do

Talk about the importance of regular
attendance and about how your child feels
about school.
Don’t permit missing school unless your child is
truly sick. Use a thermometer to check for a
fever. Remember that stomach aches and
headaches may be signs of anxiety.
Avoid medical appointments and extended
trips when school is in session.
Keep a chart recording your child’s attendance
at home. At the end of the week, talk with your
child about what you see.

FREE PARENTING CLASSES
Every parent runs into challenges along the way. That's why every parent can benefit from
learning about strategies that are recommended for babies, preschoolers, and elementary
aged children. It needs to adjust easily to your growing child's increasing capabilities.
Although all children are unique they often go through similar developmental strategies and
present similar challenges.
Joining a parenting class gives you time and space to talk with other parents and
caregivers and to reflect your parenting style.
