[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A big help that costs nothing is simply being supportive.  Talk the school up.  When chatting with people tell everyone how excited you are about the changes happening in your neighborhood school.  Learn about the school and be informed.  Don't feed into the DCPS is the worst talk that happens at work or at the playground.  Know and offer concrete examples of successful programs offered at your neighborhood school. Follow the school on Facebook and like/share events and positive things happening at the school. You will find out about various fundraising efforts and might be able to participate in some of these as well.

Being supportive does not have to cost a dime. Then again, sending a big check helps tremendously.[/quote]

This.

Also, go to an open house when you're considering what schools to send your child to. Even if you think you will not choose that school, go anyway. You might be surprised by how much you like what you see. I know I was.[/quote]
