Publicity
 A carefully thought out publicity
campaign is essential to success.

Planning
 Activities/Events are successful when they meet the real needs of parents.  The best way to ensure success is to involve parents in the planning process.

Preparation
The school will want to convey a warm and inviting atmosphere and insure that teacher and staff presentations are informative and enjoyable.

The Exceptional Children’s Assistance Center of NC has a number of worksheets
that can be used to help you gather specific information about YOUR child's
performance in the areas of reading, writing, spelling and testing.
