[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seconding the poster above saying that the PTO takes all comers. We are not one of the most visible families in the school, but feel at home in the parent community and have a good time chatting up other families because we see them often... by just showing up to things. Sometimes it's a birthday, sometimes it's a school event. And if you have energy to contribute, there are always volunteering needs. (Again, there are people who do way more than we do.)

[b]They are also right that the principal does not communicate well, and sometimes not at all. I will add that she has gaslighting tendencies, that she seems guided by the goals of evading responsibility and patting herself on the back, and also that she puts energy into weird ideas.  But tbh I don't feel the impact of her flawed leadership in my kids' education (yet).[/quote][/b]

Ummm I’m sorry WHAT? That’s the sort of thing that would be a dealbreaker for me. I have a low tolerance for poor communication from adults who are entrusted with my child’s care. And it seems this is a consistent theme in comments from several posters. [/quote]

Your kids must be very young if you think the principal has that much impact on your child's day to day experience at school. [/quote]

My children are young but they are also Black - so I have a different orientation to life, and especially school environment, then other posters. And I always have a call directly/texting relationship with the leaders of my children's schools and their teachers, so hearing that a principal outright ignores parents and/or lies to them is a flag for me that might not be for you. But thanks for your input!
