BTSN scheduling conflicts

[Anonymous]

I wish schools in the same pyramid would spread out their Back to School Nights over three different weeks or days. One for elementary, one for middle, and one for high school. We’ve got siblings in middle and high who have theirs on the same night. And only one parent available to attend.

I'm wondering whether this impacts enough families for them to make a change?

They scheduled it purposely this way knowing a certain parent couldn't attend? Hmm...

Perhaps, if enough families with same conflict complain, they could change it.

Cluster schools are supposed to coordinate so as not to have schedule conflicts. Reach out to the principal and Cc the director.

Go to middle school. Few go to hs or divide up.

No one goes to middle school back to school night. It’s fine.

MS back to school night didn’t have enough worthwhile for me to ever attend again unless kid is not going to home school. For HS only go for specific classes.

Cluster will correct the dates once they realize if they haven't already

Your anecdotal experience does not reflect what happens at other schools.

It does when I know several families at other schools who all agree.

If they continue with the new format, you can pick what you want to do at each school and go to both.
