[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child just started at Arlington Public Schools this year. I will admit that based on this board and the chatter that I heard from the neighbors, we started the year cautious. After three months, I am so puzzled. It feels like I was dropped on a different planet and I am still trying to learn the lingo. There are so many emails (Friday Five, Peach Jar, Weekly Principal Email, Weekly PTA email, random committee things, PTA listers) that it feels like there is an abundance of communications, and at the same time my kid's classroom is a black box. It's almost like the district is sending out a ton of info about whatever district-wide initiatives they are working on, but I don't feel like I know much about what they are doing in class, how our child is doing specifically. Worse, after speaking with the teacher, I get the feeling the teacher does not have an idea who they are.

Does anyone else feel like that?  Trying to understand how much of this is the transition from pre-k to K, vs. the school, and how much of this is just that this is a big system and they are not very organized.
