I dont think anyone can blame themselves for not being aware of everything thats going on at the primary school. Maybe you should stress to your little boy that letters are important and they need to reach you so that he doesnt miss out on anything. Or you could make friends with a parent who is on the PTA, they are handy, they know everything and seem to be wonder parents

bit annoying though but its handy to have someone like that to ask when its nearing end of term if there is a non-uniform day or something.
I think every class has a pupil with a mother of the PTA who seems to know everything, I know my sister does
