Moms Talk: Back to School Night

It's that time of year again, when schools open their doors at night for parents to come in to meet their children's teachers and other key faculty and staff members.

Some township schools have already hosted Back to School Night, but Glendora Elementary School's is tonight, Glen Landing Middle School's is Thursday night, and Highland (Oct. 5), Timber Creek (Oct. 6) and Triton (Oct.6) high schools will host theirs in about two weeks.

Traditionally, it's the earlier grades that draw larger crowds. By the time your kids are in high school, it's more likely than not that you don't go to Back to School Night.

GT Patch asks its parent readers: Do you go to Back to School Night? Let us know what grade your kids are in now, and, if they are in high school and you do go, we encourage you to convince others why it's worth it.
