[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you at a DCPS or a charter? At DCPS you literally just have to login to canvas one time per day and that's it. They can't kick you out for doing any less. Not sure about charters though. Our DCPS teacher said about 40% of kids in her PK class are at some other form of childcare and not doing live sessions daily. [/quote]

OP here. We are in DCPS, and we are aware. Honestly, for PK, I'm not even sure they'd kick you out if you didn't log into Canvas. I'm not really worried about being kicked out. It's more that I feel like we barely participating and I feel a little guilty using a school-provided device and potentially being a drag on the sessions we do manage to make it to. I wonder if it would just be better to unenroll and forget about it until next year (we're in our IB and had no problem getting a spot so I don't think we need to worry about that). I'm not worried about academics at all -- I think my kid already hits all the year-end targets for PK3 based on the goals list we were given. I do think she could get a ton out of an actual PK experience, as she's super interested in writing letters and de-coding words. She just can't/won't do it via DL because she hates it so much.

So yeah, we are definitely considering unenrolling and either homeschooling or trying to find an in-person private PK with an open spot. I looked a little over the summer but everything was already full because of the reduced class sizes. But it sounds like some places have been adding classrooms. If we could find a half-day program, that would be ideal (other than the part where we have to pay for PK  which basically put us back financially where we were with daycare, but at least our kid would get what she needs).[/quote]
