BTSN

[Anonymous]

Our ES BTSN is this week, and they have 2 sessions. I have 2 kids, does it matter which kid classroom I go first (6:00 to 6:45pm & 6:45 to 7:30pm)? Do you normally go to the younger kid first or older kid first? One kid I do have some questions for teacher, not sure if I should wait till the end of 2nd session to ask questions.

Does not matter. They cover the same content in both. The second session will be much less crowded FWIW.

Do younger one second because younger grades are usually more crowded and second session is usually smaller.

I would do second whichever one you most want to talk to.

Goodness no!!! Do not be that parent that lingers after BTSN asking how little Larla is doing! This is not a time for a conference. Make an appointment if you have concerns but realistically it’s probably too early in the year for the teacher to provide meaningful feedback.

This is why I loved that my school had Back to School Night on the Thursday before school started. There was zero chance of it turning into an impromptu parent teacher conference because I could literally tell the parent that I have no idea who their kid is.
