KAMP (Kindergartners Are Most Precious)Hawaii Parental Information and Resource Center Honolulu, Hawaii “Welcome to Pu`ohala!!! We look forward to having your child in our kindergarten class this September!” The organizers of KAMP (Kindergartners Are Most Precious) invited parents and incoming kindergartners to this orientation event designed to ease students’ and families’ transitions to school. KAMP provided parents with an opportunity to meet their children’s teachers, administrators, and school staff; obtain a classroom orientation on classroom procedures and curriculum; learn about a few school procedures; participate in parent-child learning activities; and meet other parents and classmates. In August 2001, twenty-four schools in Hawaii representing fifty-five classes conducted KAMP for 950 kindergartners, 100 siblings, and 1400 parents. More...
