Open+House

The Secondary School Open House is scheduled for **Wednesday, September 16th from 7:00-8:30**. The programme will begin with introductions of faculty (by department) at 7:00 in the MPH. Following introductions, faculty should report to their assigned areas, and I will continue to share some information with parents.

The Secondary School Open House is an opportunity for us to
 * meet parents and welcome them to the school;
 * introduce ourselves and inform parents about our professional background and experience;
 * provide an overview of subject-specific aims and objectives, course content, assessment criteria, assessment (internal and external), homework expectations, and resources;
 * discuss class routines- schedule, homework, supplies, etc.
 * review ways in which you will communicate with parents;
 * explain how parents can support their children at home;
 * address parent questions about programme and expectations **NOT** about the performance and progress of individual students.

 * Important Notes:**


 * 1) Members of faculty will be "clustered" by department in the classroom areas listed above. Liz will send out teacher room assignments to HOD's on Monday. HoD's should communicate room assignments to colleagues. Please post teacher room assignments in each of your classroom for parents to consult as they decide what teacher to visit next.
 * 2) Following introductions and the briefing in the MPH from 7:00-7:15, parents will be escorted by Liz, Andy, and I and members of Student Council to designated areas by grade level. Following that, parents are on their own and will visit the teachers who they wish to visit.
 * 3) Open House is not a time to discuss the progress of individual students. If a parent raise questions regarding their child's performance and progress, then kindly inform them of our reporting procedures and advise them to email you or schedule an appointment with you at a later date.
 * 4) Please provide parents with a 1-2 page handout about your course/programme. The format may vary, but the content should include the following: subject-specific goals and objectives, an overview of course content and skills, assessment criteria, grading, homework expectations, and resources.

Thank you for your attention and preparation. Please see me if you have any questions.
