[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1)  Start a PTA ASAP
2)  Remember you are a school in a city who has a prescribed philosophy.  You chose Montessori.  Don't agitate for music, arts, drama, language.  Montessori is your lane right now.
3)  Make sure kids get outside.  Lots.  As much as you can.
4)   You are a charter school in a large city.  Hold administration accountable for recruiting in a diversity of locations.

This!!!

As a founding parent at a now HRCS, the first year is crazy. Don't expect everything to be working smoothly on day 1, be flexible with your admin team, and most of all...relax.

When we were a new school, we reached out to other more established schools to "mentor" us in some of the processes (starting a listserv, starting a PTA, etc.).

Networking with other charter school parents in real life (especially other founding parents) makes things so much better.

Good luck!  A few years from now, when you look at DCUM...you feel a bit of pride in something you helped to build.
