Welcome Handouts


Every year I make manila envelopes for each student containing a massive amount of forms for the parents to complete. These forms help the parents get to know me, the rules, procedures, and the forms give me a lot of information. I read every form and take note of allergies, trnsportation to and from school, which children have NOT been to preschool, and which parents want to help. :)
The forms are...
Welcome Letter (Syllabus)
Help Wanted - Volunteer Sign Up
Allergy Information
Child Pick Up Info
Snack Calendar
Questionnaire for Kinder Parents
School Supplies List
Below is the Questionnaire.

  24. This blog site is AMAZING! After the Christmas/Winter break, my school has experienced a huge increase in enrollment. So many new kinder friends that I am now teaching a Kindergarten class. I have been an Instructional Coach for the past 7 years and have 18 total years of teaching experience..... Grades 2-5. Kindergarten is a WHOLE NEW WORLD for me and even us veteran teachers can become overwhelmed. This site has been VERY VERY HELPFUL for me! When you get a moment, I would certainly appreciate it if you would send an electronic copy of each of the handouts that complete you Welcome Packet. I will certainly give credit to KinderCreations as the creator of these wonderul documents. My email is committed2teach93@gmail.com. Thanks so much and I look forward to getting more amazing ideas from your site. Blessing to you! Love the photos and pics with your husband and furry friends!

  29. For the first time, I have my very own Garden of Kinders, and I'm so thankful I found your blog - along with my small collection of classroom materials and resources, you've already helped me build an arsenal of organization! I'm in the process of creating my own Orientation Packet and could use a little help. Is there any way you could send me your forms so I can adapt them to meet my classroom's needs? I would be SO appreciative. Please and thank you! Here's my email: ahuddleston.edu@gmail.com
    Best, Miss H
