[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, now you conform you are a bit looney. XDay and Stoddert are the extra curriculars you are talking about? And the specials teachers having trouble remembering names?  Come on OP, those are really random "stressors" to focus on. I think most telling is your community concern. You are a K family and are having trouble meeting people. You haven't mentioned one stressor which affects your child. I can promise you the specials teachers (most of whom have been there a number of years. Geography teacher is new only because the previous one couldn't renew her visa renewed another time) don't share your concern. XDay has always had a limit on the number of kids it can take in pk and k. It is limited by staff to kid ratio dictated by law. Even when the school was smaller there were limits and people didn't get in. Stoddert-- do I really need to address this? Better yet, please find me a child who was denied playing Stoddert because their school let in a limited number of OOB students in the lottery.

You will meet people as your kid continues at Murch. Why not offer to host the class potluck in the fall? How about volunteer to be a room parent? Why not volunteer to sell pizza before a school event? Have you attended a principal coffee in the playground? I am sure you went to all the HSA meetings, did you introduce yourself to Martha or Maggie? They are really great at welcoming new families and immediately getting them involved with the school and other parents. [/quote]

Exactly. There are plenty of opportunities to meet people and get involved. You don't seem like a shrinking violet, OP. And you clearly have strong opinions. Get involved.

(And as for the specials teachers, there's one who will never remember all of the kids names, no matter how many she has. She just calls them all "sweetie," even the ones she's had since she started teaching at Murch. But that's a different issue.)[/quote]
