Lottery your kids into the same school? Go to you IB DCPS they would be on a similar schedule.

That's easier said than done. My daughter for example will be entering middle school. Their plan is to have 6th graders mon-tues and 7th and 8th graders thurs-fridays so siblings could be in the same school and have to be there on different days.

For Avery developing students that is plenty old enough to be home on their own for a little while.

I would expect DCPS will ramp up to inperson from DL if only to allow for time to teach the kids what they will need to do once they get into classrooms.

No, once flu season hits all bets are off for when we get back into the actual school buildings

much harder for Flu to spread this year at school with mandatory temp checks prior to school entry, mandatory mask wearing, washing hands every hour and no one aloud to touch anyone

but please stay out of the bars if you want to avoid the Flu

KIPP sent an email. They are doing either full time DL, or you can opt for a hybrid with 1 day/week in school, switching to 2 days/week once health guidelines loosen up. That’s for Aug/Sept, and then families will choose again in Sept for October. Classes will be limited to 6-9 students each day.

I chose hybrid. We’ll see how it goes.

You do know there are people that have kids that are lore than 1-2 years apart? Some have elementary and middle and high even if all IB.

What was the decision?

EL Haynes is virtual through November per an email to parents.

2 options. Either DL or 2 days at school and 3 days DL.

Btw - Apple Tree does the same thing for PK3/PK4.

This chart seems pretty up to date. Looks like a pretty equal mix between hybrid and 100% virtual so far. Though, DCPS decisions might have an impact once made.

Lee and Yu Ying have been mentioned here but aren't updated on the file. Can anyone from Yu Ying confirm their plans?

Two Rivers is 100% DL until October 23rd. They say they will reassess DL/in person learning in early October. There’s a call Tuesday evening to explain their rationale.

Good luck. No one is going to be in a building from Sept/Oct on. Keep dreaming.
