Thanks for all your suggestions!! We would love for any of her classmates to come over to play, but we can’t because they need parental permission and without a way to contact the parent it can’t happen! Again, most of the parents of children at Roxhill work and whenever I drop off or pick up our daughter I make a point of going in the school and on the playground and still I don’t see 1 parent, all the kids must take the school bus home.
When I asked the front desk for a class list all I got were the first and last names of the kids, no email or phone number as they don’t give out that information.
From what our daughter is telling me is that most of the kids take the school bus to and from school and there are alot of latch-key kids with no adult supervision at home when they get home.
Our daughter takes swimming and has taken karate and dance in the past.
As for field trips, per the teacher most parents are at work and I have already been with the kids on 2 field trips and there was only one other parent and she didn’t speak English well.
We aren’t sure if the kids in her class have transporation to events and might be embarassed to tell us they don’t have a car.
