Agree with @buuzn03 on all three of these.
Also I thought Miss Porter’s virtual winter party where they sent mugs in advance was a huge hit with my daughter.
And Emma Willard fireside coffee chats with students were truly special.
George school sent a gift card for Dunkin’ Donuts by email which I thought was a nice touch.
Chatham hall had a mother-daughter zoom which was nice.
It’s hard when parents are running the zoom though because sometimes they aren’t super savvy and things go wonky.
One school where I left feeling yucky was a school had a consultant join the parents — they introduced her I think so parents would realize there was a consultant there. Well during the q and a, the consultant monopolized the time by asking multiple questions that only applied to someone with a clientele, not current applicant parents. (Like: Will your school continue to be test optional going forward?). I was so annoyed because I had a question that I had to accept we wouldn’t have time to get to. Also: if there are lots of people and only 20 minutes for a and a, people should know only to ask one question. And the school should be smart enough to give shorter answers, especially to a consultant. Instead, we got a very long answer to the thinking in test optional in the future. Not helpful to most parents in this cycle.
