[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. I was initially skeptical about the idea of a full transition day but I thought it went pretty well at my high school. It was way more relaxed than the first day with all the kids attending and it seemed like a nice introduction to 9th graders and new students. I also like that last week was all teacher prep and trainings rather than also a half day for transition students. I’m a believer now. Hope the kids also had a positive experience [/quote]

I agree and I’m generally a bit of a hater with new policies. I noticed that the kids readily approached staff more than usual with general questions or asking for directions, and didn’t look terrified or overwhelmed. Usually they’re just a deer in headlights on the first day and trying to hide. This was a lower pressure way to meet the teachers and find their way around.

But both my kids entered different schools and had wildly different experiences, with one not even meeting their teachers or seeing their classrooms. [/quote]
