we will be moving to montgomery county in the fall from Texas - want to enroll kids in the private schools here - are there any back to school events that we should be looking at?[/quote]

OP, do you realize that MoCo has excellent public schools? You might consider them.[/quote]

As a recent moco resident who moved from out of state and landed in Bethesda due to commute and the so-called amazing public schools - we are actually sending our daughter to private next year in 5th grade. My experience has been that the moco “great schools” reputation is a hold over from years passed. The elementary we were in is a mess, teachers have no control over the kids and experience was much lower level than the public schools we came from in CT. We made our decision on where to live largely on schools and regret that. Would have bought a cheaper house in a cheaper neighborhood and sent both of our kids to private from the beginning.[/quote]

CT has some of the biggest learning gaps in the country.  The town based systems make it easy for wealthy towns to spend tons of $$ on low need kids and ignore the struggling cities (Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven)[/quote]
