Dear Parents,
I wanted you to know that I realize this is somewhat of a bittersweet day. You must be
very proud that your child has accomplished all milestones leading to this one-their very
first day of kindergarten! It is amazing, though, that this child taking their first tentative
steps out into the world was once that little baby you held not too long ago.
I want you to feel reassured, though, that I understand all of these feelings as a mother,
myself. I will take good care of your little one and, together, we will watch them grow and
learn many wonderful things this year! You will be even more proud of them by the LAST
day of kindergarten.
I know you are thinking of us today and I wanted you to know that you will be in our
thoughts, as well.
Have a good day; you’ve done a good job!
Thank you,
Mrs. Hicks
The First Day
I gave you a little wink and a smile
As you entered my room today.
For I know how hard it is to leave
And know your child must stay.
You’ve been with them for five years now
And have been a loving guide,
But now, alas, the time has come
To leave them at my side.
Just know that as you drive away
And tears down your cheeks may flow
I’ll love them as I would my own
And help them learn and grow.
For as a parent, I too, know
How quickly the years do pass
And that one day it was also my turn
To take my child to class
So please put your mind at ease
And cry those tears no more
For I will love them and take them in
When you leave them at my door.
