Open House for secondary school sites to offer important info to parents about classroom experience
Launch the media gallery 1 playerEvery fall, Broken Arrow’s secondary school sites offer an Open House, which allows parents to learn important information about their child’s classroom experience. Below is the Open House schedule:

Virtual Academy

During an Open House, teachers will share their daily and weekly schedule, their teaching style and methodology, how they grade and their classroom requirements. There will also be many opportunities to sign up for volunteer activities, either for schoolwide programs or in the classroom.
In addition, each secondary site often has a PTA meeting that evening in conjunction with Open House, so that parents can easily get involved. However, depending on the school site, that meeting may take place before or after the teacher’s presentation.
Below are some basic questions parents may want to ask during Open House:
- What is the policy on late work and make-up work? How does it affect the student’s grade?
- How do absences affect the grade?
- How can I check on my son’s or daughter’s progress in school? Do you give weekly progress reports?
- How do I know what the homework is? Is there an online homework calendar?
- Should I call or email the teacher?
- Are there field trips?
- How can I check on detentions or behavior issues?
- Is there anything you’d like me to do?
- May I volunteer in the classroom?
