[quote=Anonymous]Hi - I'm a new STA parent (as in my child will be starting Form C in the fall) and it occurred to me that this might be a good place to get information regarding a couple of things that I've been thinking about but have been to shy to ask anyone personally.  So, here goes:

1) What advice do you wish someone had shared with you before your child began STA?  For example, I've read about the blazer exchange that has happened in the past and I thought this was a great idea.  However, but for this forum, I wouldn't have known about it at this point.
2) I'm curious how pick up happens at the end of school - do parents keep circling around the school until their kids appear or is it the sort of system where you can remain parked in your spot around the circle until your child appears?
3)  After-school care - I know that there isn't anything formal and my understanding is that kids, at least in the lower grades, need to be picked up by 4:30 p.m.  I've heard about some sort of study hall and/or something about kids hanging out in the library.  I assume the former is supervised and the latter isn't - is this right?
4) How do you get to know the parents of the children in your son's class?  Are there any school organized events?

I'd be happy to hear about anyone's experiences this year.  Thanks for reading and sharing your experiences!    :D
