I thought I would give you a summary of our PIE with the Principals for K parents event tonight. 
We had about 10 parents attend with at least 1 parent from each class present. Scheduling the event near conference time was probably not ideal....but we had pie! 
The format was very informal and Mrs. Sawyer and I opened it up for questions and general comments. 
Most of the time was spent discussing the transition into Kindergarten and the difficulties the students had initially adjusting to routines and the overall structure of the day. 
The theme of the night was that parents want to know that we LOVE 
their children. Surprisingly, there were no questions about academics, standards, or assessments. EVERY comment, question, and thought was based around the social and emotional status of their child. The stuff that really matters ...establishing positive relationships and connections with kids!
