[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! These posts are making me more appreciative of our ES's program.[/quote]
Hi,

Can you please share what your ES is doing?[/quote]

I posted earlier. 19:27. It wasn't genius or anything, but it was a productive and effective hour.

[quote]Wow. 22:39 here. My kid was taken to see the classrooms and he said they played different games and he had a great time. In the meantime the principal, school nurse, and a few teachers did a presentation for parents about what to expect and opened the floor for questions. It was great.[/quote][/quote]

Our K orientation was similar.  Kids went into one classroom and played games (I think they said the teachers were trying to get a sense of the kids' abilities, but I'm not sure how much of that's possible in the short amount of time they had).  The Principal and Assistant Principal met with the parents in another classroom and went through a typical day for a K child (schedule, along with what sorts of things the kids are working on right now).  They also answered questions from parents (busing, lunch, testing, student/teacher ratios, etc. were covered).  One of the ESOL teachers spoke very briefly, along with the school Counselor.  After, we joined the kids in the other classroom and there were brief presentations from the PTA, a summer camp held at the school, and the before and after program.

It was really nice to see the classrooms and get a better sense of the school, since we have had little insight thus far.  Overall, really positive experience.  It's unfortunate others didn't have the same.[/quote]
