Back to School Night Tips!

Back to School Night Tips Oh back to school night (BTSN!), it’s not my favorite time if I am being honest. It feels so stressful to have to present a set up room and school year plan when you’re just trying to get your footing and get the kids situated.. Then suddenly you are on display for parents and guardians and tons of questions! Whew. It’s a lot. Here are some tips for BTSN that help us make it feel a little more successful. At the heart of it, BTSN can feel like the first day of school for guardians and is their main (sometimes only) peek into what school looks and feels like for their kiddos. With that in mind, the goals for BTSN for me remain: A) Invite them into our world and affirm we are on the same team for their child/ren B) Communicate my expectations of them and how communication will work for the year C) Stay afloat for myself amidst juggling the beginning of the year
