[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like some parents thought they could put their 6 year olds in kindergarten and are sad to realize they have first graders: https://wjla.com/news/local/dcps-parents-dc-public-schools-lafayette-elementary-school-kindergarten-jennifer-lilintahl-avra-siegel-age-cutoff-dcps-cheif-integrity-officer-advisory-neighbor-commissioner-anc

I'm not clear on whether the families enrolled their kids in DCPS/charter preschools even though they were supposed to be in K (one of the kids is shown wearing a Lafayette tshirt), if the kids went to private school, or if the parents just kept them home (which would technically be educational neglect in DC; curious if Lafayette would report that--they are mandatory reporters of abuse and neglect, though I don't expect CFSA would do much about it).

If Lafayette let the kids enroll in PK4 when they should have been in K, I can see an argument for letting them continue to progress with their class--and Lafayette should get a scolding and an audit from DCPS and OSSE. But if the parents just showed up and expected to enroll in a different grade than their kid's age would dictate, I have less sympathy. If the parents are worried that their kids won't succeed in first grade, maybe they should start the 504/IEP process. [/quote]
