[quote=Anonymous]Wheaton HS BTSN was rough. Tips for future:

1. Give parents an actual map (or QR code that links to a map). I had to ask a student ambassador for directions and they sent me in the wrong direction. (Or didn’t know their left from their right)
3. Have teachers/staff wear name tags- not just the id on the lanyard. I went into one of the classrooms and had a teacher ask me “is your child in my class?” And I had to respond “what’s your name?” As she wasn’t wearing a name tag/id.
3. If we have to go to the auditorium for the initial presentation, talk loudly into the mic, esp as families are still coming in and finding their seats. I was in the back and many of us didn’t hear what was said.
4. Because we didn’t hear half of the information, several parents started going to the classrooms based on their kids schedule. But classes were lumped together in various rooms across the school. Lots of initial confusion. 
5. Because they lump teachers in certain rooms (10th grade English teachers in one room, regular precalc teachers in another), you may have 4-5 teachers in one room that gets really crowded and stuffy, really fast.
6. (And this is more for MCPS) can BTSN be later in the year- say end of September so that teachers have time to learn who students are? Esp for HS as many students are still changing their schedules and teachers are still learning the names of the 150+ students they have….
