When the road is blocked, find another way around.
Sometimes schools just don’t know how to include stepparents, but other times you’re being blocked by the child’s other home. So what do you do? Well, stepfamily author Heather Hetchler says, if the road is blocked, go around. Don’t fight the other home for access to the school. Work directly with the school. You might have to provide court papers in order to get access but it’s worth it to be added to school records, email lists, and web portals. Get connected so you can support your child.
