6. Comments<br />
• Grade levels on three separate nights<br />
• 6 th & 8 th grade schedule given ahead of time to strategize the night on how to see<br />
teachers<br />
• Teachers were well prepared & impressive<br />
• WEB leaders were helpful<br />
• Liked the map 8 th graders made<br />
• Have earlier in year….information void for first 5 weeks<br />
• Great open house<br />
• Can you provide nutritious vegetarian lunch options<br />
• Like to meet “extra” teacher in cafeteria as in years past, loved to meet band teacher<br />
• Kids should stand & allow parents to sit during open house, not sure why kids are<br />
encouraged to attend?<br />
• Having younger siblings in classroom tonight was disruptive & didn’t allow enough<br />
chairs, maybe there could be “babysitting” for them next year rather than bring them in<br />
classroom<br />
• Lunch time sports should be more friendly please<br />
• Congratulations to you all<br />
• Drama, plays for this year<br />
• So far, so good, very supportive<br />
• I can feel a dynamite energy in <strong>DeWitt</strong> <strong>Middle</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Thanks!<br />
• We liked changing classes to music. The students enjoyed it also. It should be tried for<br />
real at least on a trial basis. It could be very enlightening and uplifting.<br />
• Inviting the whole family to parent night is a BAD IDEA! The younger kids get bored,<br />
take up chair space & get in the way. I see no positive interaction & wish it would be<br />
discontinued this way.<br />
• Substitute need to be more prepared to execute lesson plan/teach class<br />
• Great open house, thanks<br />
• Homework, music, sports, academics<br />
• Too much homework<br />
• The music between classes would be great to help energize the children & wake them<br />
up<br />
• You are doing a great job!!! Thank you!<br />
• Information about events should be consistent and preferably referring to one “source”<br />
of information, i.e. it was different info given about this evening regarding who should<br />
join (parents only or whole family)<br />
• Pickup & drop off rules not followed….unsafe practices…..kids going between cars and<br />
lanes rarely used.
