What is “Meet the Teacher” Night?

“Meet the Teacher” is a phrase that can refer to an event or occasion where students and their parents have the opportunity to meet their new teacher for the upcoming school year. This event is typically held at the beginning of the school year and can include activities such as classroom tours, introductions, and the opportunity for parents to ask questions and get to know the teacher. It can also be a way for the teacher to share important information about the class, such as expectations, curriculum, and classroom rules.

Tips to Rick your Meet the Teacher/ Open House Night

• Set a date and time. Choose a date and time that works for most families and is also convenient for you and your school.
• Make a schedule: Plan the events and activities that will happen at the open house. This can include a tour of the classroom, a chance to talk to the teachers, and informational sessions about the school and upcoming events.
• Send invitations: You can email or mail invitations to families with all the important information, such as the date, time, place, and schedule.
• Prepare materials: Make things like handouts, sign-up sheets, presentation and displays to show off student work and give information about the school and classroom.
• Coordinate with other teachers: Work with other teachers to make sure the open house goes well and that families get all the information they need.
• Follow-up: Contact the families after the open house to make sure they have all the information they need and to answer any questions they may have.
• And make sure you have a plan in case COVID-19 happens. Like social distance, masks, and rules about how to keep clean.
