[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the OP but I attended the open house. I walked around the halls, got to check out the teachers and classrooms and got a feel of the people at school. No one seemed to mind or noticed that I was there. I plan to follow up with a tour with the principal. I am sure I could gather more information on the school with an individual tour but I was able to see the types of families who attended the school at the open house, which is what I wanted.[/quote]

Thank you, Mrs. Salahi. This is exactly why I wouldn't let my dd run around unsupervised like all her friends were doing last week at the open house. You never know what kinds of creeps and weirdos are lurking around the school.  :roll: [/quote]

We live in the elementary school boundary and my kids may potentially attend the school. I could care less about your DD.

Other clueless parents were asking me where to go. I actually knew exactly where the gym was with the classroom assignments, kindergarten wing, 1st grade wing, etc.

I don't think DH and I are creepy people. We just wanted to do some due diligence on where to send our kids to elementary school. Thanks for being paranoid though.[/quote]

The point is there are people in the school who do not work there and are not related to the children attending during a very crazy chaotic open house intended for only those that work there and the families that have children actually attending the school.

Maybe when your kid is finally 5 yrs old and ENROLLED, you will understand why parents don't want it to become common practice for random people (yes, even random people that live within the school district) being able to just walk in and scope out your kids and knowing the names of your kids and their teacher and which class they are in.

We aren't living in some Utopia where bad things never happen to children, excuse those of us who are just doing are best to watch out for our kids.
