[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first grader is similar. Had kids she plays with but no close friends at school (she has one very close friend from an outside activity who goes to a different school). Have reached out to a couple parents for play dates but they either flake or don’t reciprocate. It was the same last year in K. She has been invited to one party so far but it’s a girl she knew from last year’s class. However from looking at the board before school started it seems the majority of her class has spring and early summer birthdays (as does she).

At our school it’s impossible to do a whole class party. We tried last year and we tried when our older child was in K but there is always about 1/3 of the class whose parents don’t post their info on the PTA/parent portal. And the teacher and room parents are not allowed to provide the contact info they have. So for instance in DD’s class of 25, only about half even listed their kid on the portal, and not all of them provided contact info. [/quote]

So interesting, I have a K-er and we've already been invited to two class parties (I can tell by the invite the whole class was invited). I just looked at the last email we got from the room parents and it has every single parents email right there. So clearly they aren't shy about sharing! Seems silly to make it so difficult.
