As East Meadow elementary students filed into their respective schools during the opening of the 2012-2013 school year, kindergartners entered their classrooms with parents on hand for their school’s annual kindergarten orientation.
At Meadowbrook Elementary School, teachers personally welcomed the students at the door and directed them to their assigned seats. After the students settled in and met their classmates, Principal Susan Hyde and kindergarten teacher Maria Balsamo met with parents and discussed policies and procedures.
Ms. Hyde also assured the parents that their students would be provided with a well-rounded program that will prepare them for first grade. “We have a rigorous academic program that addresses the whole child,” Ms. Hyde stated.
