[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back and very grateful for the responses (after those first few 😂). And, yes, it’s a major financial decision made during a strange time and I want as much info as possible. I am not someone who agonizes about differences in shoes or cars but schools, yes. We majorly deliberated over our preschool choice (in another area) and it was absolutely worth the effort despite what others may think.

To the PP’s who asked, DH and I would prefer a public school community but the class sizes are high in our zoned school and there is a lot of flux. It also draws from many neighborhoods and isn’t as “local” as many.

One thing I like about Nps is that they start tech later, but that’s a small point. The auction at bvr and general pta jockeying sounds intimidating. Does anyone know if that’s different at NPS.

I haven’t been concerned with exmissions but you have made interesting points about aftercare age groupings and not paying NCS prices for 4th-6th…[/quote]

Re: your questions for NPS, the PA is structured to make everyone feel included and I think the administration really tries to find a place for anyone who wants to volunteer.  There is a lot of effort in making sure no one feels a barrier to entry (making sure dads and moms are involved, as well as working parents).  If you say you are interested, I think you would be hard pressed to find a more welcoming group.  But you also don’t have to volunteer.  Even the dues are optional.

The NPS auction hasn’t happened in-person in a while but it feels fairly inclusive too, or as much as a fundraising event can be.  There are always low dollar games/items you can buy and there is usually a theme, which I find more fun and generally cheaper than cocktail attire.  And, not everyone goes if it is not your jam.
