[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s no big deal and you can skip it especially if there is also another meet the teacher day.

Basically you go in an auditorium filled with families and the principal talks about parking and drop off and holidays and lost and found and introduces the staff.  Then the teachers take their students to their classroom to draw a picture or do a craft.  Then the kids all come back.  You could go alone, or just watch the slideshow they email afterwards.  Usually there is a separate meet the teacher or conference night that is calmer and you could bring your kid then.  [/quote]

This is just one possible way it is done.  Neither of my 2 kids in different schools had this type of setup.  And we didn't get a teacher assignment until 2 days before school open house.[/quote]

Same. 2 nights before school they get their teacher name and can go drop off supplies in their class and give medications to the nurse during the open house. There are 700 kids in their elem plus everyone's siblings and parents, and it is a madhouse. For 3rd dc I just skip. I think the whole "orientation" thing sounds like it is designed to help anxious / excited parents. It is not an inherent or necessary part of starting kindergarten.  [/quote]
