Re: Parents Visiting Day

We had our first parent visiting day(s) this year. We asked for reservations
and arranged for board members to escort small groups. They stayed in
classes for 25-30 minutes for lower school and longer for middle and high
school. We selected board members who were very familiar with the grade
levels so they were able to answer questions. We had a reception after the
visit so parents could talk about what they saw and ask questions of the
division head and/or headmaster. Many parents said they wished they could
come back to school with us!
It was very well received and the board members had a great time.
