P.A.W.S. Student Visit Days and Orientation
- Orientation Day is an important day for students and their parents/guardians. Children and their caregivers are invited into the classroom to meet their teachers, specialists, and support staff. This is a wonderful opportunity for students and parents to practice what it will be like to come to preschool!
- Students will be invited to explore their classroom, find their coat hook and cubby space, meet their classmates and teachers, and play with some of the toys! This is an important opportunity for our preschoolers to visit the school prior to the first official day of preschool. Please be sure to email me to let me know if you are not able to attend.
Orientation and Visit Day Overview and Schedule
- Children and parents enjoy the first 15 minutes exploring together in the classroom, meeting the child’s teachers and teaching assistants as well as other school faculty and staff.
- Children and their parents are invited to play with the toys and meet the other parents and children in the classroom. Parents are then invited to leave the classroom to attend the P.A.W.S. Parent/Guardian Information Session, for approximately 30-45 minutes, while the children have the opportunity to stay and play in the classroom.
- The parents will be provided with important information and details about the P.A.W.S. preschool with presentations from the preschool director, the school psychologist, the school nurse. After the information sessions, the parents will return to their child’s classroom to pick-up their preschooler and to hear about the fun time they had playing while at school!
