[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the OP...   that does sound underwhelming.    Are other parents happy with the school?  That does not sound like the norm for MoCo.   Most schools here have no school for K during orientation so the new kids can meet the teachers.[/quote]

OP here.  I am not sure how parents feel.  I just know that I have a bad taste in my mouth about it.  Hearing from friends at my daughter's preschool about what other schools did annoys me even more.  Some planted plants, had a "getting to know you" ice-cream party, others did art projects, and ALL of them met at least one if not all kindergarten teachers.  Our school keeps their K kids home for 2 days to do this nonsense.  Stick us in one K room for paperwork and the kids in another to another K room watch a video on TV with 4 K teachers sitting at a table talking to each other in the back of the class.  Not one of them leaving to come say hi or talk to parents.  I was very disappointed.  It would have been easier for my husband and I to just hand in the paperwork to the office one day.  To require us to make an appointment and take off of work to do it?  Awful.

And they do a K orientation night in late August at our school but the kids are not allowed to come.  So this was it for my daughter and her K experience until the 1st day of school. [/quote]
