The open house only lasts 45 minutes or so so it's really pretty chaotic because of the long lines and parents/kids trying to get the card so they can meet the teacher before time runs out.
I have no idea why our school does this, but it's pretty much the worst.

Our school said Aug 16 for teacher notification email, Aug 18 for "teacher walk" (when teacher comes by house), and Aug 19 for open house.
Do you go to one of the small schools with only 2 classes per grade that serves one large neighborhood? I can't even imagine our school doing this.
Teacher walk plus open house? When do they prepare for class?
I’m a teacher who does a welcome walk. I have no complaints—it’s really fun. We have all of Wednesday with no meetings and have nothing scheduled after the open house on Friday morning. And unless you’re on a specific committee or sped team, there are no meetings on Monday (except a big morning meeting). I’ve never had a problem getting my room ready. Same for my teammates.

Our old elementary school (also FCPS) posted lists on the door at the day of open house. That was a bit stressful and annoying. I like knowing a couple days in advance.
Agree. I hate the door method because we vacation the week before school starts and my kids have to go to school not knowing who their teacher is on the first day.
