Make the most of back-to-school night. It's a valuable opportunity to learn important information about your child's classroom experience. Along with shopping for school supplies and adopting earlier bedtimes, attend our back-to-school night at
Bellevue Elementary School! 

Four Tips to a Successful Back-to-School Night

1. Devise a strategy if you need to visit more than one child's classroom.
If you have more than one child at the school, you'll need to strategize. If your older child has already had the teacher that your younger child now has,
you might decide that visiting your older child's teacher is the priority for the evening. If both parents are able to attend, you can divide and conquer or take turns in the different classrooms.

2. Bring a pen and paper.
If the teacher says you can contact me and these are my conference hours, you need to write down that information. Also, teachers may give pertinent information so bring something to take notes with.  Teachers may go over homework procedures, discipline procedures, the different things that are expected and then give parents time to ask questions.

3. Don't ask specific questions about your child.
Ask any questions that you have about the curriculum, field trips or grades, but refrain from asking questions specific to your child that won't be useful to other parents. It's better to make an appointment for a conference to discuss your concerns one-on-one. Questions are good, but they just need to be ones that address everyone's concerns.

4. Be ready to volunteer.
There will be many opportunities to sign up for volunteer activities, either for school-wide programs or in the classroom. You'll be better prepared if you've already given some thought to your time constraints and how you'd like to contribute to the school community.
