The Mills HS Open House was last night. As usual, the “entourage” went: me, Val, Kathie, Glynis, Susan, and Adrien. It was amusing introducing the “gang” to the teachers, especially those who remember a slightly smaller group from Back to School Night in September. It was chaotic as, for some reason, they’d scheduled the 8th grade (incoming freshman) orientation and tours for the same night. I guess\u00a0 it was more convenient for the staff to only have one evening they needed to be there, but it sure made it more crowded for everyone!<\/p>\n
We were a bit disappointed based on expectations from elementary and middle school. At previous Open House events, you go and see a bunch of the kids’ work posted in the rooms. You get to see projects you didn’t even know they’d completed, and to compare their work to the other kids’. This really wasn’t the case. It seemed to be just a chance to have a short chat with the teachers (really short, since there was a line waiting to talk to each one), and see if the classrooms had changed much, which they hadn’t. At least we got to meet Katelyn’s history teacher, whom we hand’t met before since she just started in that class this semester.<\/p>\n
Katelyn is turning in her registration form for next year. She needs to take a language, and has decided on Japanese!<\/p>\n
