[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attachments are annoying. Normally a preschool will also print out the flier and post it on the entry door and classroom doors and teachers will say at pick-up “don’t forget tomorrow is pajama day / sing along / early pick up” etc.

Honestly your kid will not remember this. You don’t have to go to every single school event. A lot of working moms I know have the same policy as my family. Each parent goes to 1 workday even per kid, per school year. It can be a field trip, winter sing along, Halloween Party, etc. Within reason, we let the kids pick and we block our work calendar. I skipped my work department holiday luncheon because my 1st grader really wanted me to come to his class to make gingerbread houses.

It’s tough the first year at any school because you don’t know which events are a big deal and which are just “parents tolerated”. Make friends with parents who have a kid in your child’s grade as well as a child 1-2 years older. Especially if their kids are the same gender as yours - those families will be a wealth of information regarding camp sign ups, sports leagues, and all things at school. [/quote]

And if your kid really wants people at school, think about your village. My parents or my husband’s parents have gone to my kids’ school things in our place. Several kids in my son’s class had a 4th or 5th grade sibling as their mystery reader. Growing up my mom was a teacher at a different school. The only time she came to a school day event in 13 years was my senior year awards assembly. My aunt, elderly neighbor, or a family friend from church came to see my daytime events several times.

OP is obviously international. I doubt she has a village. [/quote]
