[quote=Anonymous]I just posted a detailed response about Aidan in the Private Schools thread in response to someone's inquiry

As for your question about parent visits to classrooms or parent questions: You get two parent-teacher conferences a year, one in the fall and one in the spring. You also get two classroom visits a year (fall and spring) where you are invited into the classroom for about an hour or so and your kid takes you around the class and shows you what s/he is working on or interested in. Any time I had a question or issue, I emailed my kids' teachers and got responses within 24 hours. I also had the teachers proactively reach out to me when they had questions or concerns. I also frequently talked to the teachers at drop-off, though I did try to make this quick because I know they were busy in the mornings working with the incoming children. There are also several opportunities to get more involved in the class -- parents are asked to volunteer to come in and read twice a week, every week. Parents are also encouraged to come in and show off a "special skill" to the class, such as playing a musical instrument, or teaching the class a short lesson about Hanukkah, etc. The teachers also sent emails with photos from the classroom about once a month or so. I never felt like the class was a black box to me. [/quote]
