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.

Peewee worked very well for my boys. I was disappointed that they had to go through “tryouts” at some point, I think it was when they were about 10 or 11. They all made it through the tryouts, but I thought it was a bit brutal for the little ones. All the various coaches were there watching them catch and field and hit balls, and then the coaches would pick the kids they wanted for their teams. I don’t know how it works with little league, but I’ve always heard that they are far less competitive, maybe more easygoing. (but I’m not sure?)

I can’t recommend anyone in West Seattle. But a trip downtown is not such a bad thing. I can recommend Darren Gray at Smith Barney/Donnelly-Gray. He has helped us from the time we were poor college kids with barely two nickels to rub together. He most recently helped us set up a 529 for our son. From their website:
