Greetings to a New Beginning in School



On September 1st was the “Back to school night” with all parents and teachers from the whole school! It ended up great even when some parents were in a rush going from teacher to teacher. This event ended up being the most crowded of back to school activities. Like in the previous years parents got the opportunity to hear what the teachers are going to do throughout the year and the new rules of the school.

As always “Back to school night” started with the speech from the principal about the school rules and what they expected this year. After parents had received a list of the student’s classes and teachers, parents could go to each class individually. There they received an explanation of the class, what teachers are going to teach and what they have been doing to start the year, the way students are going to be graded for the evaluations and what is expected from the kids . However the Elementary Parents went to the class that their daughter/son was in and got information about the subjects that all the students have for the year, and also the learning standards they are trying to achieve.

Although, some parents were very frustrated because if they have more than two kids, they had to be in a rush between different classes and teachers. That's why in the halls they commented that they preferred this event to be split in two, a day for Elementary and other day for Middle and High School, or at least start at a earlier time. In spite of that, Back to School Night was a big success because there were amazing activities to help old and new parents to get in touch with the EBV teachers and welcoming them to EBV!
