This is a period of great transition for your child. As children begin school, many opportunities open up for them to learn, grow and make new friends.

Your role as a parent changes but remains essential to your child. Your child will need your care and support as he begins school and finds his place. It's the time to learn more about your child's day at school — through listening to him and through meeting his teacher. This will help you be ready to fully support your child’s learning.
