Parent orientation (summer) was different than for the students. It covered safety issues to ease parental minds and logistics needed- how billing is done et al. We don’t need the intricacies of registration, joining clubs, dining and so much more. But we do need to know how to pay tuition, add money to the college card, pay for room and board, etc. They did combine one dinner and visiting the dorm a student was assigned to, plus limited other options. Not only were students housed separately (in the same dorm) but there were different breakfast times. We were not part of the registration process or counseling. I think the school did a good job of keeping us out of our kid’s way.
Nothing for parents at move in- done in summer. The dorms scheduled floor meetings immediately after supper so taking a kid out was impractical. I suspect private schools may do more for parents such as extra events because of the financial angle- they want to please the parents shelling out the big bucks (and they spend more of your money doing so).
