Welcome to Our School! 

The “Welcome to Our School” packet for kinship caregivers is a thoughtfully designed resource that helps bridge the gap between home and school by providing clear, accessible information to those caring for children in non-traditional family settings. 

This customizable guide includes key school contacts, essential services, enrollment guidance, and community resources tailored to the unique needs of kinship families. 

By offering this packet at enrollment or during early interactions with caregivers, schools can foster a sense of partnership, reduce confusion, and ensure that caregivers feel supported and empowered from day one. It’s a simple but impactful way to show that kinship families are valued members of the school community.
