I believe it's when you get to meet your child's teacher.. and find out a bit about what's coming up in your child's classroom over the next year. I've been through these a few times and am embarrassed to say I can't recall exactly what happens -- anyone else?

Shelley you are correct. Great time to meet teachers, other parents, PTA etc. Get an overview of what goes on in the class room academically as well as socially. Also what the general structure of the class room is. You will have a chance later to hear how your child is doing & tools to assist them individually. Back To School night is essential to start the school year off right, yet kids haven't had enough time with the teachers to see "where they are all at". It's still in process at that point. WELCOME TO MONTCLAIR @Montclairvoyant!
