WHAT is Curriculum night? Is this something every school should have? My school is having a preK/K orientation next week but that sounds different (less informative) than Curriculum Night!

it is "open house," where you meet all the teachers and sometimes go through the subjects/classes that dc have. orientation could be similar, but more general, as you suggest.

Curriculum night is where you get specifics regarding what your dc will actually be learning in school that year.

our school doesn't do it, they have a curriculum breakfast for each grade each year. i doubt it is any more informative than your orientation.

our school's curriculum night has been very detailed in the past -- it really sets expecations for the year. also gives the parents a chance to spend time with the teacher. at our school's curriculum night, class parents are elected and usually, some class funds are collected.

Curriculum Night is a term often used in Public Schools. If your schoo is having a combined prek/k meeting, I suspect it is a private school. Curriculum night is where the teacher discusses what she will be teacing for the year - the specials - some class rules and routines. All the parents come and it is done in group fahion.

i think orientation is meant to answer general questions about the school and its policies. curriculum night goes over dcs' class schedule and what they'll be learning throughout the year.
