We are eager to welcome you to Our Lady of Mercy School!
Kindergarten is the most pivotal year in your child's school carreer. Many
experts agree that this is the time of profound intellectual and developmental
growth. It is the year they will develop their attitude towards learning.
For many young children, school can be exciting and frightening, exhilirating
and exhauasting. They ask questions like: What will my classroom look like? How
will I find it? Will my teacher like me?
Parents might have questions such as: Will the the teachers understand my
child? Will they give her what she needs? Is the school environment safe and
caring?
We hope that the next few days of school will help "move" you into
Kindergarten, and ease the transition from home to school.
In class, we will establish routines that foster a sense of community and joy
among our children. We will create an environment for them where they can truly
feel at home, so that they in turn will feel safe to take risks and grow.
Our children will develop a love of learning. They will develop a sense
responsibility and independence, and will be given many opportunities for
practice.
We look forward to an exciting year of growth and learning and fun! We hope
that you, our parents will be our partners in this very important and crucial
year of your child's school life!
