PTA Hosts Open House Parents followed their student’s school schedule for abbreviated class visits at PTA Open House October 8. Parents and teachers were greeted by Student Council members who signed up PTA members and served as guides. The schedule was just like a school day except for tardy bells and lunch. Going from class to class was confusing for some parents but they were aided by student council members. They had five minutes in each class to get acquainted with the teachers. In the classrooms, they discussed the course and were even interrupted by announcements just to make them feel like regular students. After sixth period, school was out. The Student Council sponsored a reception for teachers as they returned school.
