Dear Hampton Elementary School Parents:

Please pass the word along to families – it’s time to sign up for Kindergarten!

Information regarding Kindergarten registration will be published in the local paper and placed on the HTSD

Website (www.ht-sd.org). In the meantime, you are also encouraged to assist in spreading the word to

neighbors who may be new in the community or to those without children currently enrolled in the Hampton

Elementary Schools. Registering on time is important, as some students may be transported to another

building if capacity is exceeded.

Registration for Kindergarten and any Grade One students new to Hampton Schools will take place from

9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. as follows:

Central School: Tuesday, February 6, 2018

Wyland School: Wednesday, February 7, 2018

Poff School: Thursday, February 8, 2018

Children ready to enter Kindergarten should be five years old by August 15, 2018. First graders should be six

years old by August 15, 2018. A birth certificate or other acceptable evidence of birth and proof of Hampton

residency (closing papers, lease agreement, rent receipt or residency form AND utility bill, cable bill,

paid wage tax receipt, guardianship form, or court order) are necessary before children can be enrolled.

Proof of immunization is necessary as well.

Parents of those who do not meet the above-mentioned age requirements may register children, but must also

submit a written request for early admission to the building principal by April 15, 2018. This request should

state reasons why early admission to school is appropriate for the child and may also include information and

test data from the school(s) he or she may have attended previously. Admission will be based upon the

recommendation of the Instructional Support Team of the school in which the student seeks enrollment and the

authorization of the Principal and Superintendent.

Thank you for sharing this important information with the Hampton Community. If you have any questions,

please reach out to Central Elementary Principal Dr. Amy Kern at 412-492-6322, Poff Elementary Principal

Mrs. Colleen Hannagan at 412-492-6335, or Wyland Elementary Principal Dr. Laurie Tocci at 412-492-6345.

Sincerely,

Rebecca J. Cunningham, Ed.D.

Assistant Superintendent

K-5 Elementary School One Day Program

DATE: March 23, 2018 TIME: 9:00-1:30 p.m. SCHOOL: Wyland Elementary School ADDRESS: 2284 Wyland Ave, Allison Park PHONE: 412-492-6345

K-5 One Day Program Overview

Junior Achievement will train all new volunteers at 5:30 P.M. on Monday, March 12, 2018 at Wyland. Training lasts approximately one hour.

During training, volunteers will receive all their program materials. Volunteers will be given everything they need.

On the day of the event: Volunteers will check in with the school office and wait in the

Library area until classes begin at 9:00a.m. The volunteers will work with their assigned class throughout the day, presenting the five activities outlined in their program kits. They will have breaks throughout the day as the students attend their “specials” and lunch. Parents may enjoy lunch with their child.

The classroom teacher will stay in the classroom and assist the volunteer when needed.

Program Theme Overview

Kindergarten – Ourselves - Five stories and activities emphasize the importance of work, teamwork and saving money. First Grade – Our Families - Students identify needs and wants, explore jobs and create a neighborhood map. Second Grade – Our Community - Students vote, pay taxes and identify jobs that can be found in a community. Third Grade – Our City - Students design a city and learn about businesses in a typical city, including: restaurants, a newspaper and bank. Fourth Grade – Our Region - The students focus on regional economic resources in terms of people, equipment and materials. Fifth Grade – Our Nation - Students learn about sole proprietorships, partnerships and corporations. Students develop a mini corporate business plan.

Frequently asked questions about JA Day:

1. What is Junior Achievement’s JA Day?

Junior Achievement is the world’s largest and fastest-growing organization dedicated to educating young people about business, economics, and free enterprise. Junior Achievement volunteers serve over 79, 000 students annually in a 21 county area of western Pennsylvania and the Panhandle of West Virginia. Elementary schools often hold a JA Day. On this day, volunteers act as the classroom teacher, presenting all five JA activities in one day. Classes that usually rotate from teacher to teacher are asked to remain in their homerooms (except for specials, lunch and recess) for the entire day.

2. How much time do volunteers need to commit to JA?

Upon arrival, volunteers are asked to report to the school office and wait in a designated area. Volunteers remain with their class throughout the academic day, having breaks when the children have their specials (art, music, phys. ed., etc.) and lunch. The school is asked to provide a room in which they may stay while their classes attend their specials. The school is also asked to provide lunch for the volunteers, if possible. The lower grades (Kindergarten – 2nd) may finish early, but the upper grades generally last the entire school day. 3. Do volunteers have to know how to teach?

Volunteers don’t have to know how to teach to present JA’s interactive hands-on activities. JA provides training, easy to use materials, a concise Consultant Guide and support to help each volunteer have a successful experience.

4. What is JA training like?

Training allows the volunteer to become familiar with the program kit materials, reviews student characteristics, classroom management techniques and teacher and volunteer roles. Sessions usually last approximately 45 - 60 minutes. Group training or individualized instruction can be scheduled. Training is also available on-line at http://pittsburgh.ja.org. 5. Is the volunteer alone in the classroom?

The teacher stays in the classroom. JA is a teaching partnership. The volunteer presents each activity and the teacher provides classroom management, offers insights into the class and helps out if the volunteer needs assistance. The volunteer, as part of the training, is told “Never be alone with a child.” The teacher will be with the students at all times.
