Now that students have had a few weeks to get to know their teachers, it’s time for parents and guardians to get that opportunity.
It all starts at 6 p.m. when parents and guardians will be able to stop in their child’s classrooms and hear all about the class directly from the teacher.
“It definitely can be beneficial,” debate teacher Michelle Porter said. “I think that the main purpose, at this age, of parent-student night is for the parents to come up and see their child’s surroundings, if you will.”
Beyond seeing their student’s surroundings, Porter believes Meet the Teacher Night is a valuable opportunity to get to know more about the students.
“I take advantage of it to get to know different particulars about students,” she said. “Parents are more willing in person to tell you things that you need to know about their child. Not even so much curriculum wise, i think it’s beneficial for the child as a whole.”
For sophomore Somy Nagda, tonight’s meet the teacher is an event that can help both parents, and maybe even students.
“It’ll let my parents know my teachers so in any way if they need to contact them, it’s not like who is this teacher,” Nagda said. “I feel like its a good idea so your parents and teachers can have a better relationship.”
Tonight’s meet the teacher event begins at 6 p.m. and ends at 7:30 p.m.
