[quote=Anonymous]Another VMES parent here and I agree with assessments so far. I want to add two things. For a variety of reasons, my spouse and I cannot attend PTA meetings or volunteer with a lot of the events, but we still feel very included through the list serve and attending events without helping put them on. There is definitely a core group of parents that seems to be the main force planning and putting on the events, but the PTA is not cliquish, like I've read here about other schools. Mostly low-key parents. The few times we've been able to help out, we've felt welcomed into that group. Also agree that parents are allowed in the school to volunteer and I feel that there is good communication from teachers. I've emailed my children's teachers several times and gotten responses fairly quickly. Last year, there were some ongoing issues with my child and another student, and I felt that the teachers involved handled it well and kept us in the loop. I've been able to request another parent conference with no problem. Again, reading here, it seems like a lot of schools shut parents out and don't want to offer extra communication. That hasn't been my experience at VM.[/quote]
