I can't speak for other schools but I have always just gone in. Last month at our parent meeting I went early so I could see the Speech Therapist working with Trisha. I didn't let them know I was coming early. Sometimes, if we are in the area we stop by just to see how she is doing in general. Carol Trishasmom She isn't typical, She's Trisha!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 We have always had more of an open door policy at all schools I have been too. If I am doing some " watching " or really need the teacher I make it a point to call before and set up some time that is good... but other then that, If I need to say drop something off while dropping Reece off for kindy, I just walk in and they are ok. I have never tried to abuse that or take too much of their time if I am just walking in and I have never had a problem. And we have been at ALOT of schools and have had ALOT of teachers over the years. I hear stories nowadays like you are saying though.. that there really isn't an " open door policy " and we need to call first, set appts, ect... and some schools actually discourage it. SO SAD isn't it?? A. > > Hi all, > I have a question. Do all schools have an open door policy?

Is this normal in most schools? Hey honey, No, all schools do NOT have an open door policy. Melmark does not. BUT, I ignore that....COMPLETELY. I even enter from the gym, so no one in the front offices knows I'm there. So sue me!!!! Now you have to realize that Maddie goes to an APS school (approved private school). But they request *notice* when parents come. Never, in 7 years, have I given notice. Nor do I ever intend to. NO, I dont' think anything is wrong....I just like having that capacity, and think as a parent, I SHOULD. Honestly, for ALL my other kids who are basically NDA (don't get me started), I DID pop in. Hell, the *popping in* is the ONLY thing that clued me in when Maddie's behaviors were completely out of whack. That puts me in a different position than you and Seth, because of the public school thing. Still, Gail, you're sweet enough, you can pull it off. Pretend you didn't know about *policy*.....YES, I'm a bad girl!!!! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
