Individual School Plans?

[Anonymous]

I am still confused as to what exactly is opening in Feb for third term. Are indivudal schools making their own plans and selection of which students will come bacK? Has anyone heard from their individual schools on plans?

This should be directed to the principal of the school. However, assume most kids are not going to be back in school in February. DCPS is prioritizing the students furthest from opportunity and students with IEPs. Unless your child qualifies under one of these categories, assume you don't have a spot. That way you wont be mad when you find out you don't.

Principals submitted plans, Central Office actually approved them or not. So you may have a principal and teachers who want kids in the building but they get a NO.

Have any parents seen the individual plans?

High school teacher. Principal said she submitted plans. She didn’t share what they were.

The fact that even teachers aren’t aware of reopening plans makes me really nervous. How is that possible if school is supposedly reopening in 3 weeks?

Why are we (parents) still in the dark?

Janney just circulated their plans. Most of PK-2 is going back as those grades were prioritized. Less in person slots for 3-5.

I should add that teachers who were going back vs staying virtual were identified for all grades, so it’s clear there was coordination with teachers already.

Going back how? Hybrid? Half days?

The way i read the janney plan far fewer than half the second graders would be able to go back. But there does appear to be a plan.

BRB. Renting a studio inbound for Janney with my K and 2nd grader. Cheaper than an asylum for me.

I think “most” is an overstatement. For 1st there will be 66 slots. I don’t know the exact number for the grade but I’m guessing at least 120 kids. So that’s half.
Yes- hybrid and half days.

Each grade is different, I assume based on willingness of teachers to return (without naming names, one upper grade has 1 teacher, one has 4 and 1 has 0 so using co/partner teachers).

Also, IEPs, ELL and homeless still have priority, so if you’re not in one of those categories, then it’s lottery for the rest of the leftover slots.
