[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, if I'm understanding this correctly, schools do two orientations. One in the spring and then another in the fall. Why do two if the one in the fall is more useful. Sounds like spring is a waste of time and a burden on current kindergarten parents who have to take off work or arrange for care because the class is closed. This is especially problematic this year given all the snow days. [/quote]

Not two orientations, one orientation and one back to school night.  [b]Both are optional so there is no need to take the day off if you don't feel it is worth it to you.  [/b]Orientation included your children and BTSN does not.  At orientation, you don't know your child's teacher.  At BTSN, you know the teacher and you get the information you will need to help you develop expectations about what is being taught and to learn what you can do to help your child be successful.  Orientation is just to introduce your child to the idea of school and to be sure you have all of your paperwork in.  For most parents, that is not a big deal, but if you have a child with medical problems, the school will help you out knowing what paperwork you need to get in for medication and the like.  [/quote]

But the parents who ARE CURRENTLY in kindergarten have to take time or arrange for care because the kindergarten classes are closed for orientation.[/quote]
