[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you would be suprised by the number of rising kindergarten families who are not aware this process is going on as they make their option decisions. Heck, I was surprised by the number of current elementary families I know who have no idea what's going on because their schools haven't made a short list so their PTAs aren't keeping them informed.[/quote]

While many people look at PTAs as fundraisers and party throwers, this is a great example of why you also need PTA folks who are going to pay attention to this type of thing and can communicate effectively (especially when APS staff cannot).  [/quote]

I agree, as someone who is active in this area for my children's PTA, but I am also a big believer that people need to take some responsibility for themselves.  If you are an APS family, you should be signed up for their Engage and APS Updates.  Ask your PTA or principal.  Read the Sun Gazette or ArlNow.  Maybe that's beyond the reality for low SES families, but if you're an UMC family in the school system anywhere in the county, then it's on you to be engaged in your child's education.
