[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also Arlington.  We have very little expectation for parents to show up at things in the middle of the day.  PTA meetings are in the evenings.  Parent/teacher conferences can be scheduled for very early a.m. or in the evening.  Music concerts are in both the daytime (for the other students plus parents who want to come) and in the evening (for most of the parents), you can volunteer to chaperone field trips but it isn't necessary to do that very often, unless you want to.  I tell my kids I will go on one field trip per year and they can pick which one.  In each grade there is maybe one activity per year where they'd like parents to come during the school day.  I've found ES overall to be very accommodating to working parents.[/quote]it is great you take this perspective. We are in FCPS and feel the same way. Our schools offers exactly as yours. People will still complain though! Maybe it's a guilt thing and not being able to participate"as much" as non working parents... Certainly I think it is doable for my husband and I to each take at least one volunteer position during the year.[/quote]
