New Student Registration: Day 1

Our first day of new student registration went incredibly well! We included a dual language station where every parent was again reminded of the key elements of our program, they signed an authorization form acknowledging that they will support their child in the program for 5 - 7 years, and handed out more copies of the parent information packet. Not a single negative comment from any of the (approximately) 125 elementary school families that attended today. The words of one mother of an English-dominant student: "I cannot WAIT for the Spanish program to begin!" Ahhh...music to my ears. I'm beginning to trust that all the work we've put into the information sessions for both new and returning students might just be paying off. I know all too well to think that concerns won't arise once classes start, but I'm hoping our efforts to educate and invest parents over the past several months will pay high dividends and minimize the concerns down the road. Day 2 ahead!
