Summer is here, and you must be looking forward to a well deserved break! As you get ready for summer, here are some valuable pointers for ways that can help from Schoolparent.net site:

1) Preparation for next school year – New KG parents, New Officers/Volunteers

KG parents are typically very anxious about this new phase in their children’s lives. Schoolparent.net site will enable these parents to connect with one another and others in the school. The new school year also brings new officers, committee chairs, volunteers – schoolparnet.net can help these parents and teachers with resources and tools to make the school activities easier to coordinate.

2) Summer Tips

There are a lot of activities going on during the summer break, and we all could use tips. Schoolparent.net have created a category in the Forums section of their site which you can use to exchange information with other school parents. You can start posting to the following topics or add others as needed: Camp suggestions/reviews, Family Day/Weekend trip ideas, Fun Activities & Projects, Seeking Play Dates, Seeking Babysitter/Childcare referrals, Recipes to try out.

3) Connecting with Summer Camp parents

You may want to get to know parents in the camps your children attend. You can do this on schoolparent.net site by creating an Interest Group for your summer camp. You can request camp staff to help get the word out to other parents – all these parents need to do is to sign-up to schoolparent.net site and then join the relevant camp interest group. In this way, you get a directory of camp parents. Here is an example of a camp group that could be created in this manner:

Group State: CA
Group City/Town: Palo Alto
Group Name: iD Tech Camps – Summer 2007
Group Description: Summer 2007 group for parents attending this combined tech + sports camp
