We discussed the format that was used last year and all agreed that the bell schedule was too hectic and parents who could not come at the beginning were unable to see some teachers.
We came up with a plan that includes a meeting for freshmen parents from 6-6:30 followed by an open house for all parents.  Clubs and activities will have information in the cafeteria, edbox information will be in the library and the counseling and career center will be open.  Teachers will be in their classrooms to hand out information and meet parents.
We will also include information about and opportunities to sign up for PTSA, Booster Club and Site Council
Time for meetings:  We changed the time to 4:30 to accommodate parents last
year.  Should we change back to 3:30 so more teachers and students might attend?  Suggestions?
There was agreement to change the next meeting to 4:00 to get more students to attend.
