[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love the posts from self-important parents complaining about writing styles, length of email, frequency, timing, etc. You must be the parent that shows up when school is closed for conferences, or better yet, failed to schedule one.[/quote]

I don’t think that people are complaining, just offering the explanations OP asked for.

Emails are too long and too infrequent.

If you want people to show up to your event with the proper gear, then you need to send out an email long ahead of time with the schedule for the season and the year and a list of gear needed.  That way people can clear schedules and purchase gear.  Then send one again a week or so before the event with a reminder of the date and time along with information about whatever is needed.  And in the second email, the most important information should be in the subject line.

Subject:  Halloween Party this Thursday 1:45

Email:  All parents are invited to join us at the Halloween party this Thursday. 
Please enter through the front doors and sign in at the desk.  After signing in, parents are asked to walk down to the gym for a schoolwide parade before heading back to the classrooms.

PLEASE PARK ON FORT STREET.  The parking lot is often full for this event, and our neighbors on Fort street have agreed to let us use their street for additional parking.

I am looking forward to seeing you, 
PTA mom
