Choosing a School for your child

Many parents with young children dread this decision. If you decide to attend the local public school, the decision may be made for you based on where you live. However, if you plan to go to a private school, the decision-making process is a lot harder. Lots of research needs to be done and probably the best thing to do is to talk to others who have made the same choices and to learn from them. Our site can help you connect with parents from the schools you may wish to attend. The following steps will help you do this.

(1) Create a short list of target schools
(2) Click on this link to see schools with registered SPN users - List of schools
(3) If you find your target schools in this list, you should go to our home page and request an invite
(4) After you sign-up, skip the school profile form
(5) From the left side bar - click on Network and then Groups
(6) Click on the All School Groups tab
(7) Use the sort bar on top of this page to locate your target school - search by state and district/city
(8) You can now View Members from your target school and send them a message - these are internal SPN messages and neither persons personal email address is exposed

We hope that we can provide you with a useful resource in your quest to find the best school for your child. Good Luck!
