Curriculum Night Surprise: No Kids Allowed
When we received our children’s school calendars in the mail last month, I sat down with my digital and old fashioned paper calendars to plug in the important dates, including Curriculum Night for my twin fourth graders this coming Thursday.
On previous Curriculum Nights/Open Houses, The Spouse and I have brought all three of our kids along with us. We’ve all listened to the school principals, school nurses and so on, until it was time to visit individual classrooms. During Open Houses at my twins’ schools, The Spouse and I would play man-to-man D, each accompanying one of the twins to his or her classroom. If there was time (which there often wasn’t), we parents would swap and race to see the other twin’s classroom. That’s precisely what we were planning to do at this week’s Fourth Grade Curriculum Night. Then we received this letter on late Tuesday afternoon:
