Open House (meet the teacher night, back to school night, whatever you call it) can be very stressful. Think back to your open house from last year. If it was anything like mine, you probably remember tons of people coming in and out of your classroom at all different times while you were trying to: introduce yourself to your new students, answering parent questions, taking pictures of your kids, handing out scavenger hunt papers, telling people to sign in, and hopefully letting parents know what important forms and papers they needed to take home with them. At the end of the night, everything was a blur. There were papers everywhere, you weren’t exactly sure who came, and you certainly had no idea who you needed to send things home with the next day.
The Good News
Say GOODBYE to this feeling, because you will not be feeling it this year! Do NOT let yourself be as stressed as you were last year. Say it with me, I WILL find a way to eliminate the extra stress that comes with Open House! I mean, come on, we’re already nervous enough about meeting everyone and making a good first impression. We don’t need anything extra to worry about! Lucky for you, I have one simple secret that I love to share to help make Open House stress-free!
The Plan
My secret weapon for Open House is truly simple- it’s manila folders! Head on over to your local Walmart, Staples, Office Max, whatever your go-to store is, and buy a box of 9×12 manila folders.
Once you have copied all of your open house forms and other important papers, put them all inside and label the folder with your students’ names.
Why is that so important?
1- You will immediately know who you need to send papers home with the next day. Before you clean up to go home, just collect the leftover folders, and pop them into your students’ mailboxes. No thinking involved!
2- You will know who came to open house. Parents have a lot to do at open house, and sometimes, they forget to sign in. The leftover folders will tell you who was there and who wasn’t.
This system is especially awesome for teachers who use flexible seating. If you do, you don’t have a “home seat” for every student for their folder to be at. You can just put your labeled folders on one table, and parents can take their child’s folder from the pile.
Free Checklist
Need one more way that open house folders make life less stressful? Tell parents what papers they need to send back to school by putting a checklist inside each folder.
