  10. Expectations • All students entering St. Aloysius School must be potty-trained. • This means that your child must be able to ask when he/she needs to use the restroom, must be able to undress, clean themselves, and dress again without assistance. • A child needing pull-ups is not completely trained and, therefore, is not ready to come to St. Aloysius School.

  11. Common Problems Separation Say a quick, cheerful goodbye. Do not linger. Kindergarten parents should say their goodbyes at carpool or when you first bring your child to the gym. Please do no enter the primary building. Hitting Set the expectation with clear, concise language. Use consistency in consequences and positive reinforcement. Use teachable moments at home– Ex. Rewind and Replay. Instead of getting angry or frustrated with your child, think of it as a skill deficit. Receiving Less Attention Must share with 25 other students Model, role-play, and reinforce appropriate behaviors
