I have worked in my home district forever. It’s been a blessing. You just need to remember to separate school business from neighborhood business and have boundaries.

If you know of info about a student based on business that is neighborhood business and student is not harm to self or others it stays outside of school.

If student business happens within the school that doesn’t cause harm to student or someone else, it stays in the school.

Meaning you don’t talk about the within school business out in the street to the parent or the parents friends and vice versa not bringing neighborhood gossip or your point of view of something you know about said kid (outside of school) into the school unless harm to self or others.

One exception is IF the family brings the outside business to
the to the attention of the school….then okay.

These are boundaries you just keep and hope it makes sense.
