Parent Teacher Conferences
The progress of Preschool children is reported to the
parents in two ways:
- Parent/Teacher conferences. These are held in February, and
each Pre-K parent receives an evaluation of their child’s progress. Conferences are
also available throughout the year at the request of either the teacher or the parent.
- Finished projects that the children bring home. Children are
creative with a variety of materials, and they are most proud to bring home the things
they create for your enjoyment and admiration.
Advancement to Kindergarten
The Head of Lower School will discuss with parents their
child’s readiness for Kindergarten. Her recommendation will take into consideration
the child’s physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. Despite
chronological age, if the child is developmentally unready for Kindergarten, it may be
recommended that he/she enjoy another year in Preschool. Our cut-off date
however is August 31st. Children must be 5 years old by August 31st
to enter Kindergarten, 6 years old by August 31st to enter 1st
Grade, etc.
Hearing Screenings
Each year a hearing screening is available for Preschool
students at no cost to the parents. This screening is conducted by the John Tracy Clinic
and is to alert the parents of possible problems that have gone undetected and which may
affect the child’s progress at school.
