Bulldog Days for Parents?

Our whole family attended Bulldog Days last year, and there were plenty of parents in attendance. There was overlap in the many scheduled activities for the parents and students, at least during the day, although I think we saw my daughter at only one activity, and only from afar at that. The overlap for parents and students occurred in things like information sessions, demonstration classes, campus tours, academic and extracurricular fairs, and two large assemblies (one day and one evening) intended for everyone.

Where there was especially high divergence in our schedules was in the evening. On all but one day, we (parents and younger sibling) left the campus before evening, but the students had many activities to attend in the evening and well into the night. I believe these were really intended just for students.

We stayed off campus, while the pre-frosh are housed on campus with a host. We made no attempt at all to contact our daughter during that time, so our presence there was irrelevant to her.

Parents can get a lot out of Bulldog Days, and I highly recommend that they attend.
