Planning a Parents Visitation Day

In Kampala, school visitation days, which allow parents to visit their children's schools and classrooms, are a common practice, with some schools holding them once or twice a term. These days often serve as opportunities for parents to see what's happening in their children's classrooms and strengthen the bond between home and school. Build clarity around the purpose of the visit, among your critical friends and among colleagues, parents, and students in your school. ... Structure a visit that gives critical friends access to the information and observations they need to help the school. There's a lot of planning that goes into creating an amazing experience for prospective students and families — setting goals, segmenting invitee lists, and promoting all needs to happen so you can support your school's admissions and enrolment goals. But before students even pull into the parking lot, your school's admissions office needs to provide an experience that matches the online experience families found while exploring your school's website. Hosting your private school's open house, campus tour, or shadow day this spring can be a game-changer in the enrolment process because you're giving students a chance to envision themselves as a part of your school’s community. With a successful strategy, you can impress the best, mission-fit students with these campus visit tips.
