[quote=Anonymous]Looking for something substantive isn't looking for a dog and pony show. Its rude and incompetent to ask parents to take a day off from work and bring their kid into an "orientation" when the only thing done is collecting forms for the front office. This is bureaucrats with no accountability for performance being bureaucrats with no accountability for performance.

An orientation can be a tour of the school, sharing the weekly schedule, meeting the teachers, seeing the centers, getting to sit on a school bus, listening to a story, doing a small project together, visiting the library, sharing relevant information with parents.

Our school shared how the fifth graders walk the Ks onto the bus, went over field trips for the upcoming year, talked about the playground, and the kids all got to do things. The PTA provided cookies and drinks afterwards and the kids walked around with their parents looking at things. It wasn't that hard to make it more than turn in the forms. [/quote]
