As I listen to the responses about parents and the first day of school - I am amazed. I have been a K/1 teacher for 9 years at the same school. The last thing I need is parents anywhere around the kids. Our school does a boo - hoo breakfast (anyone is welcome but they are usually K parents). The kids say goodbye to the parents in the cafeteria and then we take our class to our room. Parents at our school are not allowed to visit in the classrooms until they have gone through out volunteer orientation each year which is a couple weeks into the school year. To be honest with you, I love that the parents can't come immediately. It helps the crying little ones immensely and that way I can establish the rituals and routines in my classroom before I have them in to volunteer. Debbie Harbour
