I think all DC water parks shut down on Labor Day, and my experience in the past is that that is a firm deadline.
Great news, OP!

You're joking aren't you? The DC CAS is not at all hard, nor is it aligned with the common core, which is precisely why DCPS is getting rid of it and replacing it. DCPS hasn't got a full curricula and DCPS has been rolling it out month by month, staff at central will work on perfecting it this summer so that it is fully aligned with the core next year. Schools have now started using PIAs (Paced interim assessments) as formative assessments throughout the year to assess hopefully what students are actually learning. We'll see how things progress.
Is DC replacing the CAS with something else?
Toms of Maine Silly Strawberry with fluoride.
Haven't read the whole thread so sorry if some of this was covered by other responses--
WISDOM I believe decides how much risk they want to take on a case-by-case basis. I had depression/PTSD when I was an OB patient, but it was controlled by drugs/therapy and they were okay with it. I know someone else who had high blood pressure but didn't need meds for it. I know someone else who had gestational diabetes but was able to control wit diet and exercise, no drugs. All of us were able to stay with WISDOM and deliver there successfully. I do think that when there are multiple risk factors--controlled GD and high BP, e.g.--that you are more likely to be risked out. I don't think this is to reduce their C-section rate but rather because it is in fact what is best for you, that patient.
OP, I have heard absolutely wonderful things about Dr. Tham Metz at GW and would urge you to try her if you are risked out of WISDOM. I have heard she is absolutely supportive of natural childbirth.
Good luck!

Seems like a good move on the part of the DCPCSB--seemed like a lot of hype without a lot of follow-through. Have any schools been approved?
Yes, Lee Montessori and Academy of Hope adult education school. So, only two out of nine.
Wow, just two. I am glad, though, that the Board is being selective--I hope only programs with real potential are approved. And the Montessori I assume will mean more spots for early childhood ed, which we certainly need.

Are you serious? Now that's sad. Go!
Mean responses like this are why so many people hate DCUM.
For those who are getting off the YY wait list for PK4--what time did you get in line? And congrats!
