This seems smart!

Glenallen has SEVEN kindergarten teachers?

Fun fact you can look up the number of teachers per grade at any school and class sizes it's all anonymous

I guess an elementary school that huge was just mind-boggling to me. Ours is a Focus school, and they had three teachers when my kid was in K—and that's with the smaller class sizes. I think they may be up to four now.

Rosemary Hills has 7 or 8 each year, but it only goes through 2nd grade. And at that point kids are split into two schools (Chevy Chase and North Chevy Chase), so there are fewer classes in each school.

Yes, Glenallan is a focus school, they have about 15 kids per class normally.

Any other schools with updates?

Rock View ES is doing 4 days in person with the support model, BUT teachers will not be in the classroom, they will continue to teach virtually (not sure if that's from home or another room in the school), and support staff/paraeducators will assist kids in the classroom. There is also a possibility that some K classes will be mixed into one homeroom, which makes no sense to me at all.

Chevy Chase ES: they said it will be a mixed model. Teachers will be in room with kids. They are working on getting equipment that will allow simultaneous instruction, and teachers will need training on using it. No classes getting redistributed.

A lot of the split schools have a lot of classes per grade because they're pulling from two different communities. Montgomery Knolls has eight or nine classes per grade and I think Takoma Park 10 classes per grade. if they were a traditional k to five school they would probably only have four or five classes per grade because they'd have six grades per building

Yes, true for Takoma Park. My kids both had 9 or 10 K classes during their K year but class sizes were small (15-17 kids).
