Day 285
I admit I’m carrying some
residual guilt from last fall. I’d
committed to help with the school directory but got sick and couldn’t follow
through with my promise. Even
though it was a week in the hospital and not a case of the sniffles, I hated to
leave someone in the lurch.
Not this year. This week I spend hours and hours
updating old contact information and adding new families to the PTO school
directory. (To be clear, this
isn’t a one-woman show. It’s a
team of PTO moms working together to get this thing to the printer.)
New privacy laws adopted by the
district ban the release of personal information even to non-profits like the
parent-teacher organization. This
complicates things a bit.
We solicit families for
addresses. Reach out to teachers
for help. Use existing
communication chains to gather what we need.
My eyes crisscross in the blur
of addresses, home phone numbers and email addresses. I hope I haven’t inverted too many numbers or mistakenly
moved a few families to a new neighborhood.
