[quote=Anonymous]Word of caution. .. if informal parent list serves, try to be a reasonable voice and don't crossover and try to involve faculty or admin. You probably know this already, but from multiple experience I've seen that they can (don't have to) quickly become gripe / vent fests without much respect for boundaries and not really serve anyone... maybe start with some ground rules and just keep them productive , as you say to meet people and basic info share... You can always gripe in person to your friends - doesn't need to be every parent. When we were a Latin family (I was looking for some other info and opened this thread from curiosity) we went to events, volunteered (including for class and PA stuff), and even started some stuff that didn't exist. I say this as someone who didn't have a lot of time, but like OP, it was important to me to know the families my kid was with and contribute generally to my kid's school. OP, maybe ask the principal how to get involved or what has worked in the past to connect and create community that you could participate in, contribute to or found. Im sure COVID put a damper on things, as it did every school, and some stuff needs to be resuscitated or introduce. Hope both Latin 1 and now 2 are doing well. Has its quirks , but Latin is great l![/quote]
