[quote=Anonymous]My child is going to be a ninth grader at Wilson.  We didn’t sign up for Brudge, bc we thought it would be in person.

My DC is looking forward to the coming year because it’s high school, which means “real teenager.”

This is the first time our student is starting — will ever start — high school, so we’re trying to keep it positive.

Inside, I am feeling a sense of dread, because high school represents an organizational challenge.  But it should also be a chance for students to be independent.  But because of distance learning and unfamiliar systems, I am afraid we are going to have to helicopter wrt tracking course attendance, assignments, due dates, different platforms.   At least at the beginning.  I hope parents are looped in.  Or else, it could be a nightmare.  With grades on college applications...

I really hope that DCPS takes the time it needs to get itself together.  If they don’t open on August 30, as planned, that’s okay by me.  Better late, and better.

Thanks for letting us know target for schedules being published is 8/24.  If you learn anything else, would very much appreciate your sharing.

By the way, I just got the alert about Senator Harris.  Something else to think about.   :)
