Kindergarten Readiness/Transition Series
(Information for Parents)    #1
Dear (Contact First Name),

Kindergarten can be an exciting time for you and your child because it sets the stage for his/her entire school career. But sending your child off to kindergarten can be rough. As the day approaches, you will probably experience a mix of feelings ranging from relief to fear.

Self Help, Inc/CFCE hopes that this series of emails will provide you with activities, resources and information to support you in this great step into Kindergarten.

You will receive emails bi-weekly until the end of April (for a total of 9) containing some great information for you and your child.  After the series of emails you will be sent a survey to complete evaluating if this has helped you and your child better prepare yourself.  If you complete and return the survey by the date we ask, you will then be entered into a drawing to win children's books for you child!

We Hope You Enjoy!!!!
