Helpful notes about school policies (e.g. No outside food in the cafeteria, but you're welcome to come have lunch with your child)
PTA officers, chairs and meetings info
Room parents
Class rosters (our old school put boys and girls in separate columns, our new school does not
Phone listings. (schools in our district vary on opt-in or opt-out. if the parent does not want their address and phone number listed, there is still an entry with the child and parent names. when last names differ, there is a cross-reference listing provided)
Map of the school. (at the old school, this explained the somewhat confusing traffic flow for drop-offs and pick-ups. at the new school, it is a map of the inside that is most needed!)
Blank pages for writing in more names and addresses as the school year progresses.
Our PTO also publishes a directory every fall with the same iformation included. Parents can include or leave out as much information as they want. It is a wonderful resource to have!
We put out a directory every year. It contains parents names, address, phone/cell numbers, email addresses, childrens' names and grade. It is just distributed to the families. I use it for volunteers for PTO, class parties, and general information. It also contains contact information for the school and teachers, plus has the emergency phone tree system.
I have seen school directories mentioned many times and am curious about them. We have never had one. What kind of info. do you put in them and what is their purpose?
