[quote=Anonymous]Janney is a very welcoming community with the slightest of efforts.  Are there adults that are good friends and have a social history together?  Yes there are, because that is what happens over time with a group of people that spend time together on collaborative projects,which is a lot of what volunteering over time at a school is.  Are there many opportunities for families that want to join in, yes there are.  Are there means to stay involved and get to know families on a less intense basis, yes there are.  Are kids nice to each other and have play dates regardless of whether their parents have longstanding relationships, yes they are.

Is any child going to be invited to every birthday party, nope, there are about 100 students per grade spread over 4 or 5 classrooms depending on the grade.  It is just not possible.

Janney is a great school, it is not an exclusive high school clique of parents.  It is an engaged community, so it is not a group of strangers and there are people that know each other better than they know newcomers when families first arrive. I expect that would be true at any school.[/quote]
