EDUCATION & YOUTH By Judy Bedell Back to School Night is an important date to mark on your calendar. Even if you have children at three different schools, or you are sending your last child off to kindergarten, you should make an effort to go. Many changes are in the works with new state standards and Back-to-School Night is also a wonderful opportunity for community members to see just how rigorous the curriculum now is. At Back-to-School Night the teacher has the opportunity to present an overview of the year’s curriculum, share his/her classroom management and behavior plans, and let you know about any special events and dates that are forthcoming. Take along your dayplanner, smart phone or calendar and mark these dates down while you have the time. For parents, this evening also gives you a chance to see where your child is seated and to meet other parents of children in the class. Given today’s privacy laws, teachers are not allowed to give out a class list of phone numbers. So, introduce yourself to other parents and exchange phone numbers or e-mail in case your child needs an emergency ride to school or more often, clarification on that homework assignment your child suddenly forgot the directions for. With some schools having class sizes of 32 - 35 students, Backto-School Night is not the place for a private conference about your child and any concerns you have. Do let the teacher know when the best time to reach you is and that you value communication between school and home. Many teachers are now utilizing e-mail to keep in contact with busy working parents. Take along an index or business card that you can leave with the teacher/s that has your name, child’s name, and contact information on it. You can also list ways you are able to volunteer or help the teacher. For instance, if you work during school hours, maybe you can donate supplies for a special art project or milk and cookies for a reading rewards day. Also ask what projects or supplies the teacher may need. In years past the school provided ample Kleenex, pencils and paper. That is not the case today. See if other parents are interested in teaming up to supply a special art lesson or field trip for the classroom. Lastly, start a folder with the information you receive at Back-to-School Night. Keep it in a special place to refer to and add to it as the year progresses. There might be papers to sign and return so get those back to the school as soon as possible. If you are attending Back-to- School Night as a community member, introduce yourself to the teacher and let her know if you have an area of interest or expertise you could share with the class. Find out if there are any part-time jobs open at the school, such as yard duty supervision, which is a paid position that can be quite rewarding. Good communication and positive support from home and the community will help all children be successful.
