I learned a lot last school year.
Ex enrolled our kids in the district he moved to.
When I called the school to find out about what
time class started and when the open house was
I was told that they were not allowed to release
any info to me. I showed up at the school the next
day with a copy of the divorce decree. . . the
principal was standing there and told the secretary
to "show me everything". Ex had left anything
regarding me blank. Not even an emergency #'s
in case one of our kids got hurt. I left with copies
of that.
The open house was a fiasco. Ex showed up 30 mins.
late with new wife, and they introduced themselves to
the teachers as our kids' parents. I had our kids with
me cause as soon as they saw me they went the other
way. I just explained to the teachers out of earshot of
our kids that they would need two copies of everything
sent home with them, and all teachers were very agreeable.
Fast forward a few months. I'm the NCP, remember. For
our first custody hearing (that didn't go anywhere with
admonishments from the judge to "go work it out") ex
had supeanas (sp) called for all of the teachers. They
showed up in the hallway late when we were already inside.
My
DH overheard the conversation they had with ex's
lawyer. They wanted to know who they were showing up
FOR----lol. "Yeah, we know Mrs. XXX, she's the PTA advisory
council advocate for our class. She also went on 4 field trips
with us this year. She comes in and grades papers when she
gets off of work early. Him?? I think we met him at open
house night, but I haven't seen or talked to him since."
Don't worry, it'll work itself out. Pretty soon the teachers will
be asking you if you received ie: the mid term report, the
latest school newsletter, etc. Just be there for them and it's
all good in the long run.
