What is a Virtual Curriculum Night?

Partnerships between teachers and families are essential to help students achieve their goals. In today's virtual learning world, this is even more essential and also more challenging. Every year schools around the country host “back to school” nights to connect families to what to expect and look forward to in their child’s classrooms. The BUGS version, Curriculum Night, is an opportunity to explain our core concepts of sustainability, connect faces with names, and offer tours of our school which sits between Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetery. During remote learning, we knew we had to preserve the core functions of Curriculum Night (facilitating relationships and explaining academic expectations) but adapt it to an online environment that would attract and engage families.
