With Revisit Days just around the corner, I was just wondering who would be attending Revisit days and where? Will it be a family affair or just your prospective student? Feel free to chime in!
I have a senior but when he was in 8th grade DH and I did BS revisit with him. I think most BS expect families will attend (at least one parent with the child).
One parent + student. How dressy are the revisits? I assume my son will dress how the kids do that that BS; how about moms…pants, skirt or ??
I had this same question. I will be attending a revisit with both parents and a sibling. Is this too many people?
@sunnyschool , Most parents dress neatly but comfortably and casually. Pants are totally fine. Wear shoes you can walk in! Lots!! At our school, there was different programming for kids and parents, but it all involved moving around the campus to some extent. @Toosaucy , if the sibling is student age, I would definitely find out if they are welcome. If an adult, almost certainly no problem.
I’m not an expert by any means but I’d be bringing our family if it was at a time when everyone could go. Sibling can’t miss school, though, so DH is staying home and just DS and I are going. I think dress depends on the school…if the school is formal, dress a little nicer. DS’ school is business casual, so that’s how I’ll be dressed. If I’m not on point with that, some of you gurus let me know!!! Please…lol
Where will y’all be headed? Anyone like us have to fly 8 hours to get there???
Keep an eye on the weather a dress accordingly. We had snow here in New England today and snow in early April isn’t that unusual.
And yes to shoes geared to lots of walking.
Can you wear leggings?
@gardenstategal The sibling is 10 years old. We can’t leave him home alone because he is too young and both my parents want to see the school so there is no one for him to stay with. Do you think this will be ok?
@Toosaucy in our experience absolutely as long as you rsvp with the correct headcount. @applejuice007 I would avoid leggings if possible- most dress codes frown upon them.
@Toosaucy , contact the school. The 10 year old should not accompany the student, so just make sure the school knows a 10 year old will be joining the adult program. Personally, I would see if the sibling could stay at a friend’s home for the day, but I know how tricky scheduling can be. I’m sure the school does too and will be understanding.
@gardenstategal Thank you so much! Yes, we were planning on the sibling going with the adults. Who would it be best to contact for this? Would the AO who interviewed me and whom I have been in contact with be the person to tell this to?
@vegas1 Thank you for your response. When we RSVP’ed, there was an option for 1 or 2 adult guests so I didn’t know what to think about the child guest as an option.
DH is taking DD to her revisit day. It’s the same day I have a huge event at work that I’m the lead for, so I can’t miss it.
I’m not sure what she should wear, because it’s a school with uniforms.
@Toosaucy , that sounds like the right person!
I’ve got a packed schedule: NMH tomorrow, Choate after that, Putney after that, then Milton and MX. We took off Berkshire, but we wanted to give every school a fair look 
We went to Andover on Friday. Here were a few families that had their other children there. I’m sure these school fully understand that both parents want to attend, especially if you do not live close.
As for dress code, follow the schools dress code. At Andover there is no dress code, so I wore nice jeans, a sweater and cute COMFY boots.
@Nico.campbell that is a packed schedule!!! We were exhausted after one day! Make sure to take notes and get some rest!!
I’d err on the dressier side, while taking the weather into account.
Try and look at the schools handbook if it is on the site or where evere it states their dress code… most schools should have it posted somewhere. Some schools are more formal than others so I would reccomend being sure that you follow their dress code 
@Toosaucy we have seen families with elementary aged siblings. As long as the child can sit quietly during talks directed at parents, or walk around with a parent it’ll be fine. We were able to leave younger child with grandparents but sometimes you have to bring them.
