[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will also depend a bit on how much you reach out to the community, too. If you attend events, join the soccer teams, volunteer, you'll become a part of the community more quickly than if you don't. Same as anything. It's close-knit because people in both places care about the friendships and making it work for their kids.[/quote]

DC started CMI in a later grade and we got very involved and although the first three months or so were tough for DC socially (DC's personality plus dynamics), DC is one of the gang now, like DC has been there from the beginning.  I have witnessed another new kid this year and been eager to welcome the child and the child's family into the fold but the caretakers never reply to birthday invitations (mine and others I have heard about), never come to school events and we just never see them.  The caretakers may have a difficult schedule, work odd hours, you never know, but I have noticed that and wondered if that affected the kid.  When I knew there was a new kid in the class I told my kid to make sure to welcome the child and introduce the child around and make sure the child had others to play with and was not alone.  I think you will be fine.

I would say that it may give you more comfort as a parent if you try to get involved to the extent possible and participate in play dates, birthday parties, etc.[/quote]
