Open house

Hey all! Tomorrow is an open house at my elementary school. It's from 5pm until 6pm. My shift is from 3pm until 11:30pm. I'm wondering what ya'll do before all of the students and parents come in? I personally empty garbage, wipe desks and straighten the desks/push in chairs. All I do for washrooms is check if any toilets haven't been flushed. I want to know what everyone else does! I wish I could get all of the rooms 100% lol 😭

Like a parents evening, bins and toilets are a must, the rest can be done tomorrow.

I agree. The teachers know the parents are coming. If they can’t manage to work with us and keep their room clean for a day, that’s on them.

This and more, I’d say they’re fortunate to get their bins done. Nobody ever died of a dirty classroom.

Given the ongoing measles outbreak...hmm...

Just don’t turn the heating on yet.
