There was a parent orientation at my d school. I wasn’t aware of it and only learned when I was dropping her off. “What’s with all the parents with lanyards.” She didn’t tell us and I hadn’t inquired. lol. It was fine but for a minute there I felt bad I hadn’t checked. I had already done accepted students day with parents. I looked at the packet and it seemed similar. I assumed it was definitely a courtesy to parents traveling from outside of driving distance.
