CARE slots today?

[Anonymous]

Anyone heard if DCPS is going to be the ones reaching out about CARE slots, or will it be the schools? And will those notifications start today? I think it is highly unlikely my family will get offered slots, but it seems like the only option my kids may have for anything in person this year.

It was supposed to happen today - but who knows. Chaos.

Considering the entire plan won’t happen I wouldn’t trust a cares invite even if I received one

For selfish reasons, I want to know ASAP. If my kids are “going back” in any form this month, I need to make some decisions about seeing grandparents before our risk profile jumps way up.

We have not heard anything and have a good chance of being offered a seat (sibling has in person with teacher slot).

Same here. But they have to make it through all the iep and ell kids first. I'm ok with not getting a cares slot - not sure I would take it since it is still DL, which is the problem. Recess would be nice

Central office is telling principals to stop calling parents about seats. No indication as to why or what this means. I work in central office.

Any news?

Just to confirm— Principals have been told to stop informing about CARES seats or any seat (to include in-person)?

I’m going to be devastated. My DS with asd will be ok but I’m going to have to go part-time at work. His buddy is not going to be ok.

I heard that in-person was more likely to go forward than CARES, though possibly delayed. But this was a few days back and obviously things are changing and morphing.

Ugh. I am praying in person goes back. Central telling principals to stop making calls is bad sign though....

It’s a terrible plan that wasn’t ready for prime time. They need to plan better and start in January.
