Anyone received their teacher assignments yet (ES)?

First year at MCPS this year and have heard crickets. Anyone know when we’ll get classroom assignments etc.? Do we get those through ParentVue or mailings?

You get them less than a week before school starts. Some schools send postcards others have posters at their open house. Generally Wednesday or Thursday of the teacher work week.

Late in the week before school starts. Check your school website for the date and time.

Most open houses should already be marked in the calendar section of the school website. They are generally Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. It’s like an hour just to drop off school supplies, look around the classroom, meet the teacher, and learn who is in each class.

Call to find out about the open house. It’s usually the Thurs or Fri before school starts.

You normally get the postcard the day before the open house. It might post on ParentVue earlier.

And when you get to the ES open house, take a pic of all the class rosters for your kids' grades. Not just the class they're in - it may change.

Our school is brand new, so we will find out this Friday. However, our previous school didn't release this info until 2 business days before school started.

My guess is to avoid parents calling to complain about the assignment.

They don't finalize the assignments until the teachers are back on the Monday before school starts. There are still enrollments (and un-enrollments happening) and there may still need to be end-of-summer staff shifting. Teachers from the previous year will have had input on who to not have in the same class together, but there is that final review of rosters for any final changes (re-balancing class sizes, etc.) At our elementary, teachers used to fill out Welcome postcards on that first Monday with open house information, and that got mailed early that day at the local post office. People got them Tuesday or Wednesday.

Our school has an open house Friday afternoon before school starts. Teachers should be in parentvue on Wednesday or Thursday of that week.

Does anyone happen to know if/when Somerset's open house is? It's not on their website.

Call the school to ask.

Curious if anyone has gotten their assignments yet. Ours says not to expect until late next week.
