| We had 40 out which was the highest all year. |

| My son says Churchill was pretty empty. There were senior classes with <10 kids in them. Other grades were missing a bunch too but it wasn't as drastic. He says his Junior only AP Lang class was only half full (12 kids). |

| Just goes to show you that an excused absence means parents don't care. I highly doubt 20% of the school or more were on legit vacations today. Lazy lazy lazy. |

Yes, this was a snow make-up day. |

Actually, what it just goes to show me is that a lot of people in Potomac go away for spring break. |

| My kid was absent as he was sick. I feel so silly as it's legit, but I'm sure they question it. |

| I wouldn't know my kids didn't go. We spent the day in DC with visiting family |

| A significant number of absences were due to the White House Easter Egg roll. |

My 2nd grader said everyone was in his class today. Aftercare was full too.

You life is pathetically shallow. Sorry you don't care about family. |

| I am a teacher (not in the DC area). We had a day off in early April that was changed to a make-up day. It was changed 2 weeks ahead of time to a school day. I had made plans to take my kids out of town for a long weekend to visit family so we left as scheduled and I didn't feel bad about missing that day. I wasn't the only one. |

| Sounded like about 25% were absent from my kids' elementary school classes today. |
