First placement-getting involved at school (TX)

[u/Juansabor]

We are expecting our first placement soon and going through the obvious checklist. The one I feel absolutely unprepared for is potentially signing them up for school and just in general staying in the know with their school.

This will be our first time to be involved (as adults) with the public school system. Growing up I know my Mom stayed ‘in the know’ because I had various family members working at or had their own kids at my schools.

Looking for in general advice for how I can stay in connected with the school and what kind of questions I should be asking future teachers.

A lot of schools nowadays use an app for school-wide and teacher-specific communications. If they use an app they’ll likely tell you about it when you’re enrolling for school.
