[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect there are a lot more dual income households in S Arlington. A lot of us are professionals but may not have the flexibility to attend day time events. I wish I could, but I am not allowed to work from home at all. That said, if there is a way to be more involved in my kid's school when they start, I would try. Right now at preschool, I always chip in for events and bring in snacks, but it's dropping off and sprinting out the door to get to work. [/quote]

Our school is primarily dual-income families north of Rt 50. I have never been able to help out during the day except for one-off volunteering at a holiday party, but our family tries to volunteer for committees that meet in the evening, or to drop off snacks, or to pull a shift at a game during the annual fun fair.  Honestly unless the family is truly poverty stricken and working multiple jobs with 5 kids at home, there is at least one way at least once a year for a family to offer an hour or two of time.  That household has to decide they want to find a way.  [/quote]
