[quote=Anonymous]Ours started in homeroom, with a zoom message from the principal and PTA president. Then some time to visit various tables and breakout sessions for booster groups or special programs, including one on how to access ParentVue/Synergy. Then 10 minutes for each class period, with the same 5 minutes between that students get. Most of the teachers were super-enthusiastic and would have happily talked longer then 10 minutes, but it was a long evening as it was. They asked teachers to briefly to cover one general topic per period, say, Synergy in 4th period or general MCPS grading policies in 5th, but my 11th grader’s teachers mostly didn’t bother. I didn’t mind it too much, though. My DD was waiting at home to hear my impressions of her teachers, and for confirmation that she wasn’t exaggerating about how hot the band room with the perpetually broken AC was or how far apart her classes are, or how cool the reading list for IB English sounds I’d say BTSN isn’t strictly necessary, but do I think it helps provide context and connection with your student.
