As summer fades and the school year begins, one of the most anticipated events for parents is Back-to-School Night. This gathering is not just an opportunity to meet teachers; it's a chance to set the tone for a successful academic year. Here are some enticing tips to help you get the most out of this important evening. 

1. Arrive Early and Explore 

Getting to the event early allows you to navigate the venue without feeling rushed. Use this time to explore the school, check out bulletin boards, and note any upcoming events or resources available to parents. 

 

2. Engage with Teachers 

When meeting your child’s teachers, be open and approachable. Share your child’s strengths and challenges and express your enthusiasm for their learning journey. Teachers appreciate parents who are invested in their child’s education. 

 

3. Connect with Other Parents 

Back-to-School Night is a fantastic opportunity to network with other parents. Building relationships can lead to a supportive community that shares resources, organizes events, and fosters friendships for your children. 

 

4. Stop by the Uniform and Tech Help Desk 

Don’t forget to stop by the Uniform Shop to purchase extra uniforms for your child, ensuring they have whatever they need for the school year.

Be sure to visit the Tech Help Desk to learn about the technology resources available and get answers to any tech-related questions you might have. 

 

5. Follow Up After the Event 

Once Back-to-School Night concludes, continue the conversation at home. Discuss what you learned with your child, emphasizing the importance of their education and your commitment to supporting them. 

 

6. Bring Your Parent ID Card and SCIS Red Lanyard
