[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, did you read the new parent orientation materials and/or the handbook?  It's all there.

I'm shocked that you would not know about the Cathedral garage.

Also suggest talking to other parents or the staff.  It's sad that feel you have to ask questions on DCUM.  [/quote]

Not OP but I am a new parent and we haven’t received a handbook yet because it’s being reviewed by the new HOS.

As a new parent I also have found drop off to be daunting and also I have been very surprised by the outrageous displays of wealth. Perhaps it is something I will get used to but I haven’t found it to be the most welcoming place from a parent standpoint.  The teachers do a great job of helping but guidance as well as an extended hand from more seasoned parents would be helpful. [/quote]

I’d b happy to help, but I have to know that you need help.  No one can read your mind.

Beauvoir is a pretty friendly place. I can’t imagine anyone refusing to answer a question from a new parent or failing to extend a helping hand when asked. [/quote]

I would say this is the definition of privilege.  Someone new to this world just might not feel they can ask for help, especially when they don’t live in the same neighborhood or socialize in the same circles.  How about this, when you  are huddled in a circle talking with your friends around the coffee I would reccomend opening up your circle and welcoming a new parent in.  [/quote]
I'm also new to one the schools on the Close this year, and also completely new to this world (neighborhood, social circles, etc). I've been made to feel very welcome so far and already feel comfortable asking questions like this even though I've only been part of the community for a few weeks. I'm sorry you haven't had the same experience yet, but I'd recommend putting yourself out there and trying. My guess is that you'll find the response very welcoming and supportive.[/quote]

Like 12:25 above?  Wow.  [/quote]
