Potomac ES: How to sync bus schedule with work start-time?

[Anonymous]

It's the same all over the county. We live in Silver Spring, and it's the same.

You need before-school childcare, either a nanny or before-care at a childcare center.

OP did you already buy the house? Also, I think there was some redistricting going on.....maybe it's still happening. You could call the PES PTA to get information. They have a link and phone numbers on the PES website. Good luck with your decision.

You don't think 27 kids in one class is above capacity?

27 kids per class means large class size (but very common in MCPS). Portables means they are over capacity. Just because there is more space, you still might have large classes. Both can be problems but different issues.

We'd all better get used to class sizes of 27 and more per class. MCPS is not only in a rough financial place; things are only going to get worse in the next several years.
