(there's a difference!)<br /> Snowstorm policy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-to-ask-on-a-school-tour#post-1920213 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 21:03:58 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1920213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: Good luck with the tour!</p> <p>I'd ask about daily schedules, activities (visit the library, music teacher, any special/holiday events), teacher turnover, class size, expectations of parent participation, if costs go down if there are multiple siblings... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-to-ask-on-a-school-tour#post-1920207 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 20:59:26 +0000 irene 1920207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Thanks!!</p> <p>Bumping this thread back up.... the tour is tomorrow..!

I think the OP went on a public school tour but I'm sure some of the same questions will apply!</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-questions-to-ask-on-public-school-tour" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-questions-to-ask-on-public-school-tour</a></p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-to-ask-on-a-school-tour#post-1916936 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 08:28:37 +0000 irene 1916936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 2.5 years old, going to a daycare that we love, but we are planning for the future. We have a private school that we like to know more about (that goes all the way from preschool till high school!), and have signed up for a school tour this coming Wednesday for their preschool to grade 4 facilities. I am not sure if we may actually switch school next year, the year after, or kindergarten at the moment. What questions should I be asking on Wednesday? Any advice? Thanks!! :) </p>
