Parents, Come Observe
We encourage all parents to schedule a Parent Observation Hour. Perhaps you’d like to sit in on your own child’s classroom to see the nuts and bolts of his/her day. Maybe you’d like to observe a grade level above your child so you can get a perspective of what the upcoming years might look like. Or maybe your days of being the parent of a single-digit child are long past but you’d like to see what teaching and learning looks like in the younger classrooms so you can better share with your friends and neighbors about The Fulton School. Sitting in on our Montessori and college-preparatory classrooms is an eye-opening and wondrous experience. Regardless of which classroom or grade level you choose to observe, it’s always a beneficial and joyful experience for parents.
How does a Parent Observation Hour work?
- Contact us to set up a day and time that works best for you.
- We encourage you to sit in on a class for an hour, so you can get a full dose of a lesson.
- Choose what grade level(s), class(es), and or teacher(s) you’d like to observe. We’ll create a schedule for you that best suits your choices.
- Be punctual on the day of your visit. Sign in at the school office, and we’ll supply you with a clipboard for taking notes.
- Once you arrive in your classroom, you’ll be given a seat on the outskirts of the room where you can sit back and observe the teacher and students in action. The students will be made aware of your visit; younger students will be encouraged to not interact with you as you are there with a “job” to do.
- Once your visit is complete, we encourage you to meet with Kara Douglass, our Head of School, to discuss your day.
