meet the teacher

Parent orientation event

Meet the teacher is a school event where parents visit classrooms to introduce themselves to their children's teachers at the start of the academic year.

Unlike parent-teacher conferences, which focus on student progress, meet the teacher nights are social: families tour the building, drop off supplies, and put faces to names.

We went to meet the teacher last night and found out she assigns a lot of homework.
