Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Some of these were not applicable as it is not the 'end of the school year.'

Parent #2
My son has not graduated from the school yet; therefore, this year we will know whether or not the school actively advises what elementary school program he should be involved in.

Parent #3
Parent Community functions mostly within each class individually.

Parent #4
This is our first year at this school so I may not be aware of all the things the school does for the parent connections and I certainly do not know about the end of year process.

Parent #5
I have had different experiences each year with separation and my childrens' classrooms. It really depends on the teacher as far as I'm concerned. If need be I have contacted the school director and she sees to it that there is a specific plan in place for separation.

Parent #6
First United Methodist is a very caring and loving atmosphere. From the Director to all the teachers, my daughter has always felt the attention and love she needed when I wasn't there. The staff is very well trained and the curriculum is great, the child learns a lot, especially the best part is that they have Spanish lessons. My daughter is just so happy to be a part of it and cannot wait for another day to go back to school and meet her friends and teacher again. Every day is a good one for her and this tells me a lot about it because I've had some experience with other schools and I truly believe that this one is just a great one. Some of the answers I gave like end of school related, I hadn't dealt with those yet because we left a little earlier to go on vacation last school season and for kindergarden we haven't been in that process yet since it'll be next school season as well.

Parent #7
Since this is my child's first year, I am not aware of what will be handed out at the end of the year regarding summaries on what she learned, etc.

Parent #8
We are new this year so I answered the year-end questions based on my assumptions. The question about parent orientation should have included an option that we met on school specifics but did not have adequate classroom parent/teacher introductions.

Parent #9
FIC is very open and receptive to parents. There is not a formal parents organization.

Parent #10
This is our first year, and so I do not have actual answers for the end of year questions. I guessed what they would be based on observations of preocedures thus far.

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Not a good source of parent community

Parent #2
NO parent involvement at all.

Parent #3
We have room moms who can organize playdates etc. if they wish.

Parent #4
The only thing I have seen of this nature is the once a month Friday night babysitting offer.

Parent #5
Our school is also a church so we do receive quite a bit of information on social events hosted by the church, such as parents night out, etc.

Parent #6
This school has I believe Once a month a parent night out where kids are dropped at school for parents to go out (I think there is an extra cost but it's great I heard. I never got the chance to do it bcs we're always doing extra things for the kids outside of school.

Parent #7
?

Parent #8
I am unaware of parent community efforts if you mean regarding parents of children who attend my child's pre-school. I am involved with other parents but not any from her preschool.

Parent #9
None of the above

Parent #10
None of the above

Parent #11
None of the above

Parent #12
I haven't noticed any special efforts to develop the parent community.
