[quote=Anonymous]DS is in 5th grade at a local private school (K-5) so will be returning to APS next fall at DHMS. We were talking to a neighbor whose kids were in DHMS before the pandemic, and mentioned how there was very little outside time during the day. There is no recess, and basically the only chance to get outside was if you ate your lunch fast and then went outside as part of your 20 minute lunch break. On gym days, which is not every day, they would sometimes go outside but other times just stay in the gym? Can anyone report on what it is like now that the school is more established as well as the benefits of outside time in line with the pandemic? His current school has TWO recesses, and he is an active energetic boy, so having time to get some fresh air and move around really helps his academic focus -- and I wanted to know what we should plan for at DHMS next year.[/quote]
