With a new year of classes for your kids, it also means a set of classes and meetings for you. Make sure you don’t miss any or if you have to, please make arrangements with the instructor to get caught up. Often times if you want to help out on a field trip. sport or event throughout the year you need to get a certification of training or expectations within specific age groups. Here are a few that are at our school, for example:
Coalition Meetings for Kindergarten, 3rd,6th and 9th grades – These meetings give parents more information on particular age groups on kids and what to expect. These grades mark big moves in the child’s educational level (starting school, middle school and high school) so it’s an orientation for you and your children on the next phase of the education system for you.
Coaching – You must take a coaching clinic to be involved in your child’s sports. It’s not sports specific, but rather the overall approach and philosophy of coaching, rules for the kids, etc.
Protecting Gods Children – In a private school, this is mandatory if you are going to volunteer to be with the kids in any way. It’s in 3 parts- 3 hour meeting that includes a name search and signing of the ethical agreement.
Obviously, each school and district will have different classes, suggested and required meetings. Please check with your child’s school to see what all YOU need to be doing to get the year off to a good start.
Don’t be late for class!
