[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the ones that haven’t made an announcement don’t want the parents there?[/quote]

if we’re being honest, no one “wants” a bunch of extra people standing around the room taking up space and (likely) judging. We do it because admin says we have to. As an early elementary teacher, it is really disruptive and someone always ends up feeling like they are the only kid without a parent there and ends up in tears. So, if you are an elementary parent and attending this my 2 pieces of advice are:
1. be prepared to work, i always do a big craft to keep parents busy
2. be prepared to look out for a kid other than your own. if you see a kid who doesn’t have a parent there, talk to them. ask them what they are doing. engage them and make them feel special. 
This event is pretty exclusive for parents who can’t take off a couple hours on a work day. If you have that luxury, be grateful and use a few minutes of your time to make other kids feel special too.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks! If I go, I will do that.[/quote]
