The more we learn about Katie's new school, the more we like it.
Every Friday morning the whole school (remember, this campus is just Pre-K thru 2nd) attends assembly. It last like 20-30 minutes and parents are welcome. When VJ and I dropped Katie off today, her teacher reminded me of it. She had VJ come into class to play while I went ahead to the auditorium. VJ came in with the class, holding Katie's hand and sat with me.
They started off with everyone singing some song (I don't know the name). Then all the kids that had a birthday that week came down to the front and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to them.
Next, all the new students came down to the front and were introduced to the school by 2 of their classmates. Katie did very well and wasn't shy at all telling everyone she was from Houston, TX.
The school does a great job welcoming new students and families. Katie's teacher, Mrs. Juno, has gone out of her way to make VJ feel welcome. Students arrive between 8:00am & 8:30am when school "officially" starts. During this time they have free play in the class and Mrs. Juno has invited VJ to join in. He had a great time this morning.

Wow, that sounds great.
Hayden's preschool is similar in the way they treat the younger siblings. I just think that will make it such a smooth transition Trevor actually starts going to school there.
Next year when VJ starts school, I'm sure he'll feel like he's already been a part of things forever.
