[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, what did your email say? That it was a 1/2 day for students? DCPS does not do half days.

Are you sure you aren't misunderstanding? It has always been no school for students as it's end of term and professional development day. I don't know how they would switch it to a half day because teachers have to do end of term records plus have PD scheduled -- there's no time to teach.[/quote]
Maybe I misunderstood.  I bolded the part I thought relevant of the email I just received:
DCPS Half-day School-based PD/Half-day Records Keeping (4/10). [b]SWW will email a class schedule and dismissal time to parents and students this week. [/b][/quote]

1/2 day PD + 1/2 day record-keeping = whole day

The part about class schedules doesn't make sense[/quote]

It's this. It's a full day off but DCPS divides it between records and professional development because it's a full work day for teachers.

I actually was thrown by this in the exact same way when we were in PK because of the way DCPS lists it on the calendar. Fortunately our PK teacher set me straight.[/quote]
