[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a not so hot in-boundary school, [b]start volunteering there now[/b]. I really wish I had done that. At the very least, meet the principal and possibly show up at a pta meeting, if there are any. Dcps do have open houses. You can call to find out or some are listed on the myschooldc website. Talk with other parents with older kids. But overall, don't stress too too much too early or it will be a long road.[/quote] If you don't care about being viewed as weird and overzealous than do this. Otherwise, I think it's okay to attend a PTA and an open house where you can meet the principle.[/quote] Not PP, but I don't think it's weird and overzealous. I know a bunch of people who volunteered for EOTP schools before their kids could go, and they helped make the school better while learning about it. [/quote] I would also lean toward weird and overzealous, but it would depend on the activity. Helping out with the auction, not so weird. Chaperoning a field trip, very weird. [/quote]
