[quote=Anonymous]We are a DCPS family. We own a second home in another state. We're really starting to think DCPS is going to be a bad experience (my daughter is participating in the bridge program that started this week for 9th graders and it is just so depressingly awful). We've started to toy with the idea of moving to our second home permanently and letting her attend school here. Of course, she's resistant because DC is all she knows and where her friends are...but friends she hasn't seen in months and won't for months more.  We're the parents so we make the final decision, but we really would like for her to come around to the idea. So, I'm considering enrolling her in school where our second home is so she can participate in the freshmen orientation program and school visit. I"m hoping that experience will help her get on board with the idea. But I'm wondering how it works with our DCPS school (which she's already enrolled in). I have her transcripts so there shouldn't need to be communication between the two districts when I enroll, but that doesn't mean there won't be. I guess the gist is I'd like her to try out the new school while still being enrolled in DC. If she likes it, we'll disenroll from DC. Anybody on here who has thoughts on how this works when schools are in different states? Will the new school automatically contact DCPS? Or if I have all the paperwork, might they not? [/quote]
