"The Open House is intended to help parents and teachers become better acquainted, as well as to enable parents to find out more about the learning activities
In the past, teachers have asked the parents of students in their classes to act as hosts. Their job is to regulate the flow of visitors for each Open House night. Some teachers will not need a host, but teachers who expect many parents may ask for assistance. The host will help to control the lengths of the visits as well as to keep track of the order in which parents are to meet the teacher.
Teachers expect abut 1,000 pa-rents each night. The U and U Soci-ety (Ushers and Usherettes), sponsored by Mrs. Joan Plock, assist visitors. They provided directions and other information to parents during the first evening. They will also be assisting during the second evening.
