[quote=Anonymous]NP but a similar story.

Mostly you have to have faith in teh school's leadership and ask where they need help.

Things like facilities improve when the school is larger and gets more $ via the per pupil allocation. So a tiny school with just PK3 and PK4 is going to be more challenged than one with a fully subscribed Pk3-5.

Teachers get more experienced (or there's turnover) and systems and processes mature. Year one or two most everything is new from a parent newsletter, to how parents will signup for parent teacher conferences, to events like Back to School night and little plays or concerts. Will the school offer things like 'intro to montessori' to help parents understand what's happening in the classroom.

Starting a parent organization - PTO is the usual choice for charters - is also important. But you have to write (or find/adopt others) bylaws, decide whether it will raise money independently or simply encourage donations to the school. These decisions should be made in concert with a majority of parents and the school's administration.
