Letter from Betty

Hello,

I hope that you have had a smooth transition into the new school year. Hopefully the homework routine, as well as the morning and nighttime routines, have been established.

One of the most important events of the school year, Back-to-School Night, is quickly approaching. This is when your child's teacher explains her goals for the class. She shares information about her teaching style and methodology, how she grades, and the requirements for a good grade, as well as upcoming projects. This is valuable information that helps to set the tone for the rest of the year. Listed below is the important information that you should take from the night: 

  • An overview of the school day
  • Knowledge of what the classroom looks like
  • What it's like to sit in your child's seat
  • The homework policy
  • How to contact the teacher 

This is not the time to talk to one-on-one with the teacher or ask specific questions about your child. Save those conversations for another time; tonight, focus on experiencing your child's daily routine.  Continue reading to learn questions that you can ask the teacher at Back-to-School Night.  

Best Regards, 

Betty Bodenweiser
