Hi. I am applying for primary for my daughter and have an interview scheduled for next week. What are some questions that are asked of the parents? I don’t want to be blindsided and not have a response ready. Thanks!

Meoros is basic jewish geography no out of ordinary qs. Nachlas asks more hashkafic qs. If your husband wears hat and jacket to davening, internet filters etc.
Did everyone in lkwd apply to the same schools?

What does basic jewish geography mean? They’re testing the parents on it? They told us not to bring our daughter along

You first meet with Rabbi Landau, then meet the 2 principals.

Nachlas was very friendly, no hat and jacket or internet questions. Did jewish geography, who we know in common. Asked about our jobs. Spoke about the school. Nothing major.

Regarding the above poster - I think it’s safest to wear hat and jacket to interview if your DH wears to davening
DH and I went back and forth for first child’s interview. It is not a yeshivish school (English translation). DH wore because we thought what can it hurt...during the interview they mentioned the dress code of a Ben Torah is hat and jacket. We were so happy we did that. I think it’s always best to put best foot forward and make best first impression.

Was it for this year? How did everyone get interviews already? I only got one for next week and I responded to so many applications the first day they sent it out

You are very fortunate if you already have an interview lined up.

I have heard from principals that the way the mother is dressed (tznius) is very much noted as well.

I think some also try to find out if you let your kids watch videos, and what type of videos they watch.

But maybe you should wear a hat only if you wear the right type of hat
I know someone who wears a "up" hat and was told at the interview that they are a good fit for the school, but if its a choice between them and a family where the father wears a bend-down, they will accept the bend-down family.
This is a typical Lakewood couple, father learned in kollel and took a course and now works in one of the lakewood offices, everything about them fits into the cookie cutter box except the up-hat.
