[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on how active the parents are in class. Plenty of donations from plenty of families? One is fine. Not nearly enough and you can afford two? Two.[/quote]

Yes.  When we were in a small private pre-school, I always brought 2.  However, our current school is larger and fortunately the instructions now say one contribution per family instead of per child.

For teacher holiday contributions, I contribute the requested amount (once), but I give a separate gift card to the teachers from our family.

Fortunately? Wth- a small contribution that benefits your KIDS??

You should be contributing 2x the amount. [/quote]

Fortunately refers to the fact that they provided details/instructions.

In this school, each student is given a list of supplies to purchase for the school.  All supplies are shared between all classrooms so contributions by family are fine.  After over 20 years, the director is familiar with the numbers and knows that supplies per family are sufficient even with multiple families having more than one child.  Other families with two children in different classes also only make one set of donations.  Each class is given a different supply list and the instructions specifically said "per family" and when I asked to confirm, the school director confirmed donations were per family.

I said for holiday donations for the teachers, we donated the requested amount, but I also give a separate additional gift to the teachers from our family that totals more than double the contribution.  In my case, we have twins, so the same money is going to the teachers, just some is going in the group/room gift and some is going in a separate gift card.
