I wish there were volunteer opportunities that take 30 min or less for busy parents

I wish there were more low-key family events

How else can I support the teachers and my kids class?

Events at different times of the day and different days of week.

I wish the older kids had more outside time. One short recess just isn’t long enough.

I wish the kids had more freedom to enjoy their lunchtime. The vibe can be really strict in there about volume and the kids most often can’t sit with friends (assigned seating). I believe lunchtime can be safe, reasonable, and allow for more fun.

I wish there was more emphasis on students being kind to each other and consequences for kids who are unkind and intentionally hurt others. I wish there were more tools given to parents about how to help kids navigate conflict without hurting others or being hurt.

I wish we had more low-key ways to connect with parents outside of school. Kids and parents need community!

I wish the class parties happened at different times for different grades. This would allow parents with multiple kids at Fairmount to volunteer and/or attend all their children's parties.

I wish the volunteer opportunities for school were posted online like the Watch Dog sign ups so parents could see what was available if their schedules opened up or could plan around ways they wanted to volunteer.

I wish there were more events throughout the year that parents could be involved in with the students. Donuts with Dads, Muffins with Mom, Thanksgiving Feasts, Daddy-Daughter Dance, etc. There could be an events committee to help organize these things and if there are financial concerns, I believe this community would step up if given the opportunity.

I wish the PTA would stream the meetings or publish minutes after. Many parents can't attend but would still like the info.

I wish the fall fundraiser wasn’t a golf tournament or there was an additional component to the golf tournament - something more families could participate in to support the school. Maybe a themed party. I like the silent auction but I miss it sometimes because I don’t have interest in the golf tournament.

I wish someone could direct traffic at the entrance of the parking lot for ease of access to pick up and drop off kids. I’ve seen one too many times an accident happen. I feel it would help get the line going faster too

I wish the enrichments for each quarter would all start on the same date and end on the same date.

I wish the Fairmount parents were more invested! It's sad we never make minimums for community nights when so much time and effort goes into planning and promoting them. I wish more people and families would show up across the board.

I wish it was easier to get in contact with other parents - especially at the beginning of the school year when kids are trying to build new friendships or when kids are having a conflict. I’d like parents to be able to communicate directly to help sort out issues between their kids and not just rely on the school.

I wish there were more education and awareness for parents, students, and teachers about what invisible disabilities can look like in a school environment, and how they impact students and their families. Greater understanding would foster empathy, build compassion, and help reduce the shame that kids often experience when they’re struggling due to neurological or other differences.

I wish there was inside recess on rainy days and not just quiet time with a Chromebook or other screens. It seems unfair to expect these kids to sit still and behave all day when they have no outside time or outlet for their natural child energy.
