[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MS and HS if you have a question for a teacher just reach out and ask. Or if a conversation would be better just ask for a call. Teachers are often reaching out to parents with student feedback. The speed dating formats aren’t really that great but there truly isn’t a good way for many parents to meet many teachers over the course of two 2 hour early release days. [/quote]

Agreed.  Our MS teachers have like 5 sections of 25-30 kids.  We had back to school night in September where there were 7 half hour sessions and you would basically follow your kids' schedule and go to each class where the teachers would give a presentation.  We have an open house where you can sit in on classes, and then the  parent-teacher conferences where the teachers sit at a table for 6 hours to meet with parents (they have a dinner break, and the school sent around a schedule so you can see when each teacher is on break).  Honestly I don't know what more the school can do?  Seems perfectly reasonable to at least get an intro to each teacher and a quick sense of how your kid is doing.  Coming prepared with questions helps.  Also, we've not had trouble getting responses from teachers when we've reached out with issues or questions.  [/quote]
