With home visit week approaching, I wonder how it will be in a larger school as compared to Ashford or Nellis. Amy and I went to the ends of each hollow to find parents or other relatives. Prior to the home visits, we sent a notice to parents informing them of where we would be and when. We asked them to contact us if they didn't want us to come to their home. The last year, we only had one family to ask that we not come. This message came from a mother who was very involved with the school and their children's education. Yes, we made contact with 100% of the families in our school. If we didn't catch them at home, we grabbed them in the parking lot. We were so proud. We could share some stories, funny, strange, wonderful, sad. But we did open a door for many people, and learned so much about our kids. Mary Ann and I also made contact with 100% of our families. It was Mary Ann who taught me to just go on a home visit, without notice or permission. We sometimes sat on the porch but were usually invited into the home,, no matter how good or bad. Throughout the 3 years, we made hundreds of visits and were never, not one time, offered a cold drink!!
