Last week we had our first Parent Council meeting of the year. I always make an effort to attend as many meetings as I can. It's a great forum for voicing opinions on what the school should be delivering, as well as a network of parents with similar needs.
I found Shane's tutor by networking with another parent at one of the council meetings. The principal of the school is at all the meetings, so of course "face time" with her never hurts. And it is important to be involved and be a part of decisions that affect your child.
Luckily, in our school, because of its vocational designation, we do not do any fundraising. The focus really is more on helping the kids, activities around the school and how the school gets involved with the community, etc.
So, join the Parent Council/PTA at your child's school. It will help in many small ways.
