Gearing up for Back-to-School Night!

This week most elementary schools will hold their Back-to-School Night events. Secondary schools will hold Back-to-School Nights the week of September 24. Don’t miss yours! See the full list of schools and dates below.

Making the Most of Back-to-School Night

Back-to-School Night is a great time to learn about your child’s classroom and school experience, meet teachers and administrators and learn what you can expect for your child in the year ahead. Here are a few tips and reminders to help you make the most of it:

Every school and even some grade levels within a school do Back-to-School Night differently. Connect with your school to find out what you can expect.
Know what questions you want to ask in advance, but keep them general – such as homework and discipline policies, vs questions specific to your particular situation.
If you have more than one child in the same school, map a plan in advance for how you’ll navigate each.
Connect with your school’s PTA and find out how you can get involved.
Consider signing up for volunteer opportunities at your child’s school and be sure to complete a volunteer application in advance of volunteering.
