[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, thank you, this is exactly what I meant. I wasn’t aware that TPES utilized paras who are split amongst the classes. Can you give more detail about how they are used? How many classes are the split amongst?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many kindergarten classes are there? My understanding is the classes aren’t allowed to have aides. Is there a lot of parent involvement in the classroom?[/quote]

What do you mean they aren’t allowed to have aides? MCPS won’t allow it? That makes no sense. Like any MCPS, there will be paras split across the classes.[/quote]

I assume PP meant the parents aren’t allowed to fund aides for their kids’ classroom, which is apparently a practice in some DC schools[/quote][/quote]

It's like any MCPS - for ES there are a certain number of paras that push in throughout the day. There is not a dedicated para, but typically they are there for ELA and/or math. And of course SPED and ELL teachers also come in and out throughout the day.

25-26 seems very high. At our school (a normal, non-FARMs, non-focus school), we have 20-22 and 7 classes per grade.[/quote]
