[quote=Anonymous]I am fine finding out room assignments very late. The problem is that we don't get supplies lists until we get a teacher assignment. So when it comes out a week before school starts, and there is inevitably random stuff on there (one year they asked us to send in multiple photos from summer vacation glued to a specific kind of paper with a caption explaining the photo for a class photo book, and we got this request the Friday before school started -- just, no).

If our school didn't rely so heavily on teachers to be the point of contact with parents, or if teachers for all grade levels coordinated on stuff like supplies lists and just sent out one list for each grade in July or early August, I wouldn't find myself chomping at the bit for the teacher assignment. We like the teachers at our school and I've never gotten an assignment and been like "oh no, how will I prepare my child to be in this perfectly good teacher's classroom?"

Also, I vaguely remember in PK feeling totally in a panic having to wait until the week before school, because we just had no idea what we were doing. Would have been great to have some kind of meeting or event earlier in the summer for PK parents to help them get questions answered. I have no idea why our school doesn't do this. For subsequent grades, there has always been an info session for the upcoming year in June, where we meet all the teachers for that grade and get any major questions addressed. Though I guess families that move to the school over the summer don't get that.[/quote]
