What Parents Are Saying:

Last evening my husband and I attended the Elizabeth Forward School District Kindergarten meeting. I just wanted to say “Thank you” to Ken Smythe-Leistico for the informative presentation. The statistics, discussion, and guidelines presented are really assisting my husband and I in how to ensure we stay engaged in our son’s education.

Thanks again!
Karen Marasco

P. S. – I found the statistics so interesting, I am sharing with anyone willing to listen.

Thank you so much.  I very much love the ideas you added.   I agree that orientation night can be sterile. As you say, transition is a communtiy centered proposition and children, parents and schools all need to be ready and open to new ideas.
