[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't just drop in on the open house/ play dates until you have an offer.  Just don't. [/quote]

I think open houses are fine in the abstract (but check with the PTO or school or whoever runs them), but play dates would be really weird.[/quote]

I actually think a playdate would be less weird than like a teacher meet and greet. A playdate is generally very amorphous and kids play and sometimes adults chat and if the school or PTO organize it they might offer snacks or a merch table but there are no formal activities. It's possible that you could accidentally attend one of these playdates by just going to the school playground on the Saturday or Thursday evening or whatever that they designate as a back to school playdate. So you could also just do this accidentally on purpose.

Whereas a teacher meet and greet or BTO principal talk that some schools do is a more formal event and really just intended for current families and I'd definitely check before attending and probably wouldn't take a waitlisted kid to a teacher meet and greet at all because you have no idea whether that will be their teacher anyway (it would just be awkward).[/quote]
