Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten printable handbook of frequently asked questions from parents. A printable resource to make your job easier!
Frequently Asked Questions from Parents
Is the beginning of the school year stressful? Are you bombarded by parents asking the same questions over and over? You are not alone! Planning and preparing for the beginning of the school year can be overwhelming, especially for teachers of younger grades.
During those hectic first few days of school you’re juggling a million different tasks at once like soothing a crying child, helping students find a seat, tying shoes, when you’re approached by a parent who has questions. Does this situation sound familiar? What should you do? You’re the teacher, it’s your job to communicate with parents, but you also have a million other things to take care of. In your effort to please everybody and juggle all of your duties at once you forget to include one crucial piece of information and your year gets off to a rocky start.
Parent Handbook
Parents of young children- especially first time parents or parents of children who are attending school for the first time, have many questions at the beginning of the year such as:
- How do I pay for meals in the cafeteria?
- Does my child need a backpack?
- Will my child have homework?
- And many more!
Parent Handbook Video Tour
Based on my many years of experience as a classroom teacher I have created a packet of information you can customize and give to parents on or before the first day of school. The printable pages are in black and white so you can easily reproduce them on a copy machine.
The information contained in this packet will help make the beginning of the year less stressful for you, your students, and their parents.
Here is a PowerPoint Tutorial video in case you have questions about editing the parent handbook: PowerPoint Template Tutorial
