The primary goal of the New Family Support Committee is to emphasize the importance of jumping right in and becoming a part of the Kinkaid community. Every family was new at some point! We want you to truly enjoy all of the wonderful opportunities available to you and to enjoy the sense of friendship and community that comes along with being an active member of the Kinkaid community.

The New Family Support Program is supported by “Falcon Friends,” a group of current parents who volunteer to help new families make the transition to Kinkaid. These parents are committed to providing their assigned new families with the tools they need for success at Kinkaid, including being available to answer questions (however many there may be and however big or small!), organizing new family events such as an early summer social, and assisting with the various deadlines that exist for getting everything in order to start the new school year! Your Falcon Friends are dedicated to making sure that your family’s initial experience at Kinkaid is a special and exciting one and we hope that you will find the program a tremendous resource.

Summer Reading lists are available on the Kinkaid website, typically under the “students” tab and also under “Libraries.” In the Upper School, summer reading requirements can vary by course, so be sure to check the list carefully. It is very important to complete summer reading, as all Upper School students are assessed on the material at the start of the fall semester.

Talon Tips:

• The Upper School Summer Reading List will be posted online. It can be found on the Summer Reading page.

• The Upper School Library and the bookstore stock the correct version of each book.Please note that it is easier to follow assigned reading when you have the suggested version in hand.

Please visit the Summer Reading page for details on your student's summer reading.

Online June 24 through July 24

Birthday posters are a very cool Kinkaid tradition that benefits the Kinkaid 7th grade class each year. Seventh graders design birthday posters to hang at the entrance of the School. Posters can be requested for a full birthday or a half birthday (for those kids with summer birthdays).

This is a very popular tradition with most families opting to purchase a sign for their child/children. Parents also have the option of purchasing a birthday t-shirt for their child.

*Remember to print a copy of your receipt! However you will also be able to confirm your purchases via your Charge Summary link in your Veracross account.

*Carefully check your calendar before choosing the date on which you would like your child’s sign hung. Signs will NOT be hung on weekends, holidays or summer break. There are also various days that students are not on campus for teacher conferences and faculty in-service days so select a date for the sign to be hung that your child will be in school. Unfortunately, last minute changes cannot be made.

Online August 7 through September 4

BTS OSS, only offered at the very beginning of the school year, is an opportunity to purchase many items that you and/or your child will want this year. It is incredibly convenient if a little overwhelming at first, however, once the year is underway, you'll be so glad you did it!

Talon Tips:

• Remember to save a copy of your receipt (paper or a .pdf) so you can refer to it throughout the year. You will be surprised how easy it is to forget exactly what you purchased! However, you can always check your Charge Summary on your Veracross page of the Parent Portal.
• It is definitely worth your while to take the time to complete BTS OSS when it’s available online because while it’s not impossible to get most of the items later, it can be more complicated and less convenient to order items one-at-a-time throughout the year. See below for more details.

Book Pick-up/Locker Set-up – Monday, August 19

On the book and supply pick-up day, you are invited to the School to pick up your books and school supplies.

On this day, your student will have the opportunity to set up his or her academic locker for the school year. The lockers are relatively small and need to fit a lot of supplies, binders and textbooks. Shelves and accessories can be purchased at any office supply store or Target. As for supply organization, your student will be taught to organize and label binders in his/her classes.

Talon Tips:

• It is a good idea to laminate a copy of your student’s schedule and post it on the inside of their locker. It will be helpful to them as they get adjusted to their schedule.

• Although it is not required, many girls like to decorate their locker. You can purchase locker “décor” at a local store, and/or use personal photographs to make it a welcome place.You can use your imagination; but remember lockers are wood, so magnets will not work. Plus, you are not permitted to use tacks or nails in the locker. Your best bet is double-sided tape or contact paper to hang decorations because students will be expected to clean their lockers at the end of the year.

We want you to truly enjoy all of the wonderful opportunities available to you and to enjoy the sense of friendship and community that comes along with being an active member of the Kinkaid community.

The New Family Support Program in Lower School is supported by “Buddy Families,” a group of current families who volunteer to help new families make the transition to Kinkaid. These buddies are committed to providing their assigned new families with the tools they need for success at Kinkaid, including being available to answer questions (however many there may be and however big or small), organizing new family events, and assisting with the various deadlines that exist for getting everything in order to start the new school year. We hope that you will find the program a tremendous resource.

Each Spring the LS Library hosts an all-day summer reading book sale in the lobby of the Lower School. This is a wonderful opportunity to stock up on books for summer reading but this event is in no way obligatory. Around Spring Break time, the LS posts a list (from HAISLN) of suggested titles that you may want to use when selecting books. At that time, it can be found on the Summer Reading webpage.

TALON TIP: The Lower School Library stocks many of the HAISLN books. Feel free to check them out this spring. Books may also be checked out for the summer at the end of the school year and returned once the Library reopens in August.

TALON TIP: The important thing to remember is for you to read to your child as frequently as you can – and the illustrations are also an important part of reading at this age! Pointing to pictures as you say the words or describe the scenes is an important tool in teaching a child to read.
