Hi Friends ~ Much
preparation has been going on at Bear, getting ready for your children to start
later on this month. Before school
starts we have Bear Back-to-School-Nights (BtSN). Full of fun and information, and you
certainly want to make the best of it.
So here are a few ideas to help you have a great BtSN!!
Come
early, but not too early. The door to
your BtSN will open about 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time. You want to get there, get parked, get a
place to sit or stand, and be ready once the meeting begins. If the meeting you will be attending is
second one of the day, please know that the previous group might still be
there.
Make friends.
Everyone in the meeting is connected to the same grade. Meet parents, other children. Those connections can be helpful during the
school year.
Bring a note pad for notes. I know, you have a cell phone for notes. For this meeting, skip the phone and use
paper. Your kids know that you can check
Facebook, email and even play games quietly, all the while not paying
attention. Show them that this is
important enough to not have your phone out.
And you will be modeling what to do when something is important… write
it down.
You will get a lot of information at BtSN. Part of this meeting is held in the Lunchroom
and part of it is held in the classroom.
This is an opportunity to meet the teachers. This is not a good time for a conversation with
the Teacher about an important issue. Plan
to make an appointment to discuss the matter.
Plan to Plug in.
You will receive a Bear PTA packet that includes all your PTA
forms. Each teacher will be looking for
parents to help with functions during the year.
Considering volunteering. This
school is great, and we need you to help make it greater!!
Not sure when your BtSN is?
