[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm super annoyed.  I'm going to have to eat an Airbnb deposit.  WTF announcing this the day after the lottery?[/quote]

Really you would have changed your enrollment over a few days???  Most Airbnb's offer refunds this far out but you could take the days off and just deal with starting out the year with 3 unexcused absentees.

If you are keeping other schools on your wait list most Charters don't generally make there Calendars until after DCPS is finalized as many tend to generally follow DCPS. So, you probably want to keep your plans flexible for a while. [/quote]

I am worried they would give away our spot if we missed the first three days.[/quote]

So... are you just lotterying or already in the school?
You don't get to be pissed about this unless you are already enrolled.[/quote]

Already in.  Trying to reshuffle some flights and camps and I am finding many do not give a full refund.[/quote]

Just miss school. Especially if you are known to them, they won’t give away your spot. Tell them what’s going on, take the unexcused absences and move on with your life. [/quote]

I agree it’s super annoying. Starting school on a Wednesday is super inconvenient to working families. No camps will take them for 2 days, so either parents will have to take those days off or pay for a full week of camp and use only 2 days.

I am also frustrated that they are having a February break AND an Inauguration Day break when DCPS is just skipping Feb break next year so there will be no camps open besides maybe the Y and also half days are the WORST.

But all that said, if I’d already made my non-refundable vacation plans I guess my kid would just be missing the first 3 days of school.

But if I’d already [/quote]
