Is "back to school night" before or after school starts?

Question

Just curious.

Answer 1

It depends.

I can only answer for Texas and my school district, but elementary schools have a "Meet the teacher night" the week before school starts. You get to meet your childs teacher and are able to drop of supplies or get the list if you're new. Middle and High School usually have a day for incoming students before school starts to help students learn their way around and then have an open house about a month later.

Answer 2

Back to school night usually is after school starts, that way students, and teachers have some time to settle in.

Answer 3

After - at least I've never known it to be before!

Usually very near the beginning.

Answer 4

After.

Answer 5

In the school I teach in and the school my son attends they are both before school starts.  For these two schools they are mainly tools for the teachers to communicate information to the parents regarding expectations, etc. and to answer parents' questions.
