Roland Park Parents K-8 IB World School private Facebook group is a great, helpful group to join to get information and ask questions of other RP parents.
Various grade-level specific private Facebook groups = Some entering kindergarten classes have created their own private Facebook groups that go up in grade level each year (e.g., 2020-21 Kindergarteners group changes its name the following year to 2021-22 first graders group) so all the parents and students can stay connected on grade-specific matters.
