[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our school the PTA is not given access to this info. Creating the directory would be SO MUCH EASIER if we were! [/quote]

Same here. How do other schools create directories? Does DCPS have any policy on this? Why don't some schools use this information for student directories when the form clearly says it's for student directories?

Ours is the first school we've been to that has no directory, no listserv, or anything else that families can use to contact each other. The other schools we've been to had apps, directories, mailing lists, but here the administration and teachers are so protective of contact information. Only room parents get contact information for the families in their class, and they have to swear to guard the list with their lives. When I mentioned that not having each other's contact information makes birthday parties, play dates, and carpooling difficult, the response was to send messages to the teacher for distribution to the class. As if they don't have enough to do. . .[/quote]

Charters do the same forms.

The school will give the names of all who gave permission for release to the PRO for the directory. 
You can tell them to release nothing or agree to share all or limited info

Example options 
1. your name and your child's Name only 
2. Names + email 
3. Name + email + phone 
4. Name + email + home address + phone

And variations of the above

If you don’t give school permission to release, PTO has to gather on their own. [/quote]

16:15 here. That's the thing - our school will neither (1) create a directory, listserv, etc., themselves, nor (2) provide the PTO with the contact information of families who have consented (i.e., have not opted out) so that the organization can do it. So annoying, especially since the form says explicitly that it's for the student directory.[/quote]
