[quote=Anonymous]I feel like I could have written this post last year (this is DD’s second year at her private school, now in middle.) I too chalk it up to laziness and also sports: at least at our school, so many of these kids do sports so many days, even during the pandemic, that that consumes a lot of their social life and the parents’ desire to arrange additional activities. I also noted that the Welcoming Committee is sort of giving themselves a pass to work less hard (maybe because events aren’t as fun over Zoom, so why bother?) At this point, there is more reciprocation of socializing, but not a ton. But have you tried reaching out to other new families? I feel like we got some good reciprocation bc our child became friends with one. Also, I sort of stumbled into the world of Room Parent stuff, and I, at least, feel like I know some people through that, even if it’s virtual and I’m honestly not sure whether I’d recognize some of these people if I met them in person! So you might try that. I’m sorry you’re still feeling less than welcome, but I do think there will be an upsurge of in-person events and that things will change. Or at least I hope they will! And I do bet that it’s one of those things where you will suddenly stop trying or stop caring and then remember again and things will feel better. [/quote]
