[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a parent volunteer and I was surprised at how many questions there were about before and after care (JEAP at Eaton). They were all answered which took up time. I've been to a few of these open houses and this is the most time spent on that topic. Just how it went, I guess.

This was the first time that the student council kids spoke. They were told what kind of questions to expect and were told to answer honestly. Also took up some time.

Tours are definitely allowed/encouraged to enter classrooms-we obviously have to make sure that all parent tour guides know this. Sorry for that.

If anyone has lingering questions, please call the school.

Just my two cents but I think that having the students present for over half of the q&a led to softball questions. No one wanted to be the jerk asking about the Hardy transition or testing. Naturally, we were delighted they were there and wanted them to talk about things they are excited about which generally are the enrichment pieces at school. I thought it was great to get a sense of the student body! They were as adorable as they were articulate.

Perhaps they could add a bit more about curriculum, class sizes, student teacher ratios, and other hard facts in the packet in some sort of collective q&a?

Finally, thanks for being a parent guide! It was nice to get a sense of the parent community we will be entering next year.[/quote]
