Why don't you just taking your kids out early yourself? You don't need permission to do so.

I will but there are going to be so many other kids leaving it will be a huge hassle and line I’m sure.

So... just as there would be if there was an official early dismissal??

There wouldn’t be a line to pick up early if there were an early dismissal, nitwit. Kids could ride the bus home or be picked up ant kiss n ride as usual and be home before the eclipse even started.

Of course, there would be the usual kiss-n-ride line of parents at early dismissal. You seem incredibly devoid of logic. Nitwit, indeed ^^

Yes but the line and hassle I was talking about in my PP is the line for parents to check our kids early from the office since there won’t be an early dismissal. Many parents are going to be checking their kids out early tomorrow. When you check out kids early, you have to go in physically and sign them out from the office. If it was early dismissal you wouldn’t have to do that as they would already be home and there would be no reason to pick them up early. It’s going to be a mess tomorrow. DUH!!!!!

Guess you better take another Lexapro to manage all of this mess. Poor thing.

Anxiety can be dealt with, but too bad there’s no pill for stupid.

Seriously! How does the PP get through her days?

FCPS really dropped the ball on this. I mean, parents probably would’ve been upset if they announced an early dismissal, but to not provide viewing glasses and just simply send out emails that say, “The eclipse will take place during dismissal, so don’t look up,” is absolutely the least amount of effort they could possibly put forward.

Every other school district around us (Loudoun, Arlington) is supplying the glasses, a lesson and the opportunity to go outside during that time if they haven’t already dismissed.

FCPS is probably going to have kids log on to their computers to view it IF they’re even that “lucky.” (They might just be stuck going to their regular PE, guidance or whatever end of the day classes….)

FCPS is a joke.

So you’re comparing a school system (Arlington) with 27K students to one with 180K students?

I suspect that they may have dismissed early if it wasn't for having off for Eid that affects maybe 10% if we are being generous.

My FCPS elementary dismisses right at peak. SACC supposedly wasn't allowed to plan an event, might is stupid, they could have gotten glasses for at least the older kids. Trying to avoid taking them out too early as one of mine has orchestra and there have been so many Mondays missed. I think I will attempt to pick them up at Kiss and Ride and I will park off school grounds and walk over to pick them up and then we will look from an athletic field.

Yes. FCPS has spent far more money on far less meaningful items that did not affect the health & safety of students.
