[quote=Anonymous]My husband's job is taking him to the DC area for a year, from July '12-July '13. We've decided it would be best to keep the family together so I will be coming along with the kids. His company has rented a house for us in Potomac which feeds to Wayside Elem.; employer claims it's the best school in the area. Our daughters will be in 1st and 2nd grade next year. While Wayside looks nice on paper, I need more information to help me decide if it's the best place for our girls.
I'd like to know specifically:
-Is this an international community where kids who are there for just a year would feel welcome and accepted?
-How does the rigor in 1st and 2nd grade at Wayside compare to other schools?
-What does 1st/2nd grade HW look like at Wayside?
-Were you (and your kids) happy with the teachers? Classroom structure? Level of acceleration?
-Does Wayside allow you to request teachers? Would prefer someone especially nurturing, flexible, fun.
-Do students have access to a personable student advisor who they can talk to about feelings, fitting in, etc?

Thank you for your feedback. [/quote]
