How can I prepare my child for the start of school at CIS?Starting a new school can be a daunting experience for a child at any age. We welcome families to bring their children to orientation at the start of each year to get to know teachers and staff. The best preparation is to reduce the anxiety that is associated with this big move. Visiting the school beforehand, turning the apprehension into curiosity and sharing your excitement at the new opportunities that will come along is the best possible preparation for any child starting a new school. In addition, no-one likes to stand out on their first day, so making sure your child has the right school uniform, making sure you know which days to have PE uniforms ready and having school supplies in hand in advance will give children a sense of reassurance. Please read all materials in the welcome pack for information for a successful school year.
