[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this thread to ask a question - my daughter (7, 2nd grade) would really like to invite a classmate over. Said classmate is not in the public school directory but I see her parents' email addresses listed in group / class emails sent to parents by the teacher.

If you chose not to be included in school directory, would you be offended if I reached out to arrange a playdate? Thanks in advance for your responses.[/quote]

We are not in the directory.  Its online for everyone to access.  I'd love for you to contact us.  We had to make the decision for personal reasons and it sucks as we know we aren't invited to things because of it.  Please do.[/quote]

I understand your qualms.  I agree with the PP.  Send the email using the addresses that you've seen on group messages.  If they truly wanted to be invisible to the group they would be getting bcc'd by the school or not emailed at all.  Certainly they would have the wherewithal to set up a dump account if they really felt they needed to be accessible.  Don't mention that they're not in the directory, etc.  Just send the email with your normal salutation "Hi, This is Larla's mom and we're hoping that Laslo can ...".  [/quote]

I don't mind if someone asks why.  We tell them.  Its not a secret.  [/quote]
