[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are you supposed to contact them? I feel like if people opt out of the directory then they have to accept or don't want their kids invited. [/quote]

As someone whose kids aren't listed in the directory due to domestic violence this makes me glad our school community is kinder than you. [/quote]

Thanks for sharing. I usually assume people opt out of the directory because they don't want to be bothered for whatever reason.  I'll try harder in the future to reach out to parents.  How might another parent get hold of you?  Send a paper invite in your kid's backpack? [/quote]

Send a paper invite, introduce yourself to me on the playground at a school event and exchange contacts, have your kid ask mine for the phone number, look for my email on other evites . . . [/quote]

Pp, I am sorry you’re going through this. Doubt many people go through the list to figure out who’s listed and who isn’t and would be remembering this for playgrounds or school events.

Since you’re the one opting out, you need to do this effort: Introduce yourself at playgrounds, or school events, etc. for your kid.

Most, if even realize that a kid is missing from the directory, won’t go beyond sending a paper invite in backpack, or delivering an oral invite that you’d need to follow up on to figure out date / time / location.[/quote]

I do do those things, but if OP has just moved there, she isn't in the directory either, and she and this particular parent may not have run into each other yet.  So, asking other parents if they have contact, or sending a note makes sense.
