Curious....when do your kids find out who their assigned teacher is? About This Page:

[Tink and co.]

Around here the class lists are taped to the office window (so they can be read from the outside) about two days before school begins. I mail a little welcome letter and supply list to the kids on my list about 2 weeks before school starts. When we were on multi-track year-round the kids were pretty much with the same group of kids from kindergarten on, they just moved up to the new teacher each year. My middle school age daughter will receive her schedule on the first day of school. We got a letter from the school about 2 weeks ago telling the school times and 7th graders report to the gym, 8th graders to the courtyard.

Wow, my DD started back to school Aug 3rd. She got her home room assignment and her classes on the Monday before school started, and talk about screwed up. She has gym class 3 period a day. Yes , you heard right 3 gym classes every day. You would think that someone would have spotted that screw up. Our supply lists go out in e-mails and posted on the school web site 2 or 3 weeks before school starts.

our town has 1 teacher for each grade k-6 so we pretty much know from birth unless someone moves away or retires

In Jr High there is one teacher per subject (like there is one Jr High/ High SChool science teacher he teaches you every science class you take in those 6 years same with English/Lit Social STudies Home ec etc etc we may have 2 Math teachers?

We got the school supply list a month ago, but just receieved the letter (last week) with my son's kindergarten teacher (and we found out if it was AM or PM-- this I really would have liked to have known already)

At our middle school we have registration about 10 days before school starts. At this time we update important info like emergency phone numbers and parent info. The students also get their lockers and class schedules.

We registered 375 students out of 700 last week. We have late registration this Friday, which will bring maybe 50 kids in. So, if you are doing the math here, that leaves about 275 students who will be in line in the office the first day of school to get their lockers, schedules, update info, and pay their fees.

As for supply lists, we send out a packet in June that has a supply list for each grade level.

Tulsa Public Schools is Oklahoma's biggest school district and with a big district come lots of different styles. One style that does remain consistent is the fact that you can call the office and they will tell you your child's teacher. At our school, we the teachers, mail welcome postcards to all our students. Our principal mails a welcome letter with important first day info--we have a huge first day of school for parents and students. The parents come and attend class and a special assembly then we have a huge parade of the grades and lunch follows. It makes for a very busy first day but seems to work. Our school starts Monday, my postcards went out today----our lists are constantly changing until a week before school starts. The school I teach at does not ask for any school supplies. We have adopters who provide the items the teachers want for their classrooms and the teachers purchase other items (pencil boxes, extra crayons, plastic homework folders, etc). The parents need only supply a backpack (Packback as my first graders call them) and some klennex.

At our school where I am a teacher, we didn't get our classroom list until the day before the kids came. WE WERE NOT HAPPY CAMPERS. I am in First Grade and it is not fun to put names on all the things that need names the night before I meet my kids.

In CA kids found out the night before school started. Here in ID they used to be able to tell people WAY ahead of time, but with the growth lately, they're telling us about a week and a half ahead. We got our supply list in our last report card, which was really nice. All of the 2nd grade teachers did a list together. That said, the school I work out is giving us our list the Thursday afternoon before school starts. I have to hold off on labeling everything until the Friday before. (insert pout here!)

The kindergarten and first grade students get letters mailed to them in late July/early August. However, once they pass the first grade (grades 2 through 8), they don't find out who their teachers are until the first day of school.

My oldest starts first grade on September 7th; he found out who his teacher was on the last day of kindergarten...the new teacher assignment was written on his report card.

We are please that he has been assigned to the teacher who is regarded as "the best" in our town. That makes me happy! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] His best friend and the nice girl across the street from of us are also in his class. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

They post them at the school about a week before school starts.

Our school is doing it this way this year. Parents will get their child's class assignment at Open House. It's helping us out by giving us more time to work on our classrooms so that when Open House happens we can meet with the parents as a grade level and not in individual classrooms. We also have a grade level supply list that was sent out so it's the same for every first grade class.

Since we e-school, we get an email, which we did today. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/woot.gif[/img] I have no idea how the B&M PS does it.
