Each 7th and 8th Grade Official has two or three Big Sibs. Every morning Big Sibs attend Official and chat with their Little Sibs about school-related topics. A dozen parties are held, several in each borough, to help parents become acquainted with other Hunter families from their neighborhood. A PTA officer moderates a general discussion about life at Hunter, the PTA, and school activities. Each grade meets with the administration to review highlights of the year ahead.
Families sell subscriptions to hundreds of magazines, including renewals.
Report cards are distributed in Official. Teachers mail this report if your child is in danger of failing a course. They may also notify you about any aspect of your child s performance. On conference days each teacher posts a list of five-minute time slots outside the classroom. Parents go to each classroom to sign up for a time for a private conference.
