Thank you so much for writing this. I am a teacher, and my school has these policies too. The administration communicate them in staff meetings but, interestingly, won't put them on paper. Mine is a private school where only a handful of kids have started transing socially. I might be the only person in the community who has a kid who is transing medically, or even knows one. I believe the adults who work here think they are being heroes to LBGTQ kids by using the pronouns and keeping parents out of the loop, and those who don't believe that are protecting their jobs by going along. The administration believes it is following the rules set by the state and by the Biden administration by implementing these policies. PLEASE send your schools letters like these. So many teachers and administrators are clueless about what transing actually looks like once the hormones and surgeries start. They need to know, and they need to hear from parents that we won't put up with the secrecy and with the encouragement down this harmful path.

The other thing about keeping IMPORTANT sexual matters from parents is ... this is exactly how pedophiles operate. Schools should know better.
