Van Ness Elementary Finally Open

| A school that has been open for all of two weeks is awesome, so much so that every PK family IB for Brent has already made the decision to stay for K and beyond? Are there any facts you can point us to that in any way support your assertion about Brent being an "overcrowded mess" in two years, or is this wishful thinking? Waiting . . . |

You mustn't be from the neighborhood, if you're talking about the "commute." The Brent families (who are actually in-bounds) are in the Van Ness area all the time - Yards Park, fountain, Ice Cream Jubilee, etc. |

| You're being obtuse. A leisurely weekend stroll to Yards Park is quite a bit different than the morning stress of getting a three or four year old dressed, fed and off to school on time. By andsrge, IB Brent families walk their kiddos to school and then continue on to the Capitol South Metro to catch the BL or OR Line. There's also the option of a CaBi kiosk across the street from Brent and a substantial number walk to a nearby Congressional Office Building. The fact is that most Brent parents with PKers are going to drive to VN. Call it what you want, but even a 10 minute round-trip can add up to 40 minutes each day, even without taking into account the need to find parking and walk your kiddo into the school. |
