[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not being political, but here's the thing: you're now attending public school, whether at a charter or DCPS, using public resources. That means you follow their attendance rules, which include a limit on unexcused absences. If you want to take a lot of vacations and pull your kid out whenever you want, you'll need to do that on your own dime--i.e., private school. You may not think of PK3 or PK4 as "real school," but the District does.[/quote]

OP here. I get that with ages 5 and up. But I cannot find an attendance rule anywhere for PK3 and PK4. So my understanding is there is no rule to break.  Everyone on here who's warning me against this seems to be looking to the K and above anecdotes.  Clearly, my first post was asking people of they knew of any such rule applying to PK, in which case I would absolutely abide by it. But to the extent there is no such rule, and the school therefore doesn't really care, and it works for my son and our family, I'm not sure what the problem is that we get some amazing quality time as a family.

Other people mentioned that this is more of an issue when you are OOB -- but there isn't really a concept of OOB and IB at the pre-K level so not sure if this rationale applies.  [/quote]
