[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello OP -

We've been at FS for 3 years and have a 2nd-grader as well. Welcome!

Wouldn't call it perfect, but it's small (2 sections per grade) and we're very pleased with our child's teachers and school offerings. Less so the aftercare situation, but it's improving. We have fingers crossed that we may have stumbled into a decent (by DC standards) school we can stay in through 8th.

Make sure you join the yahoogroup and other communication platforms the school and Home-School Association use to stay in the loop, and check out facebook and website to get a feel for the school.

And again - Welcome![/quote]

Would you mind sharing what the problems were with the aftercare and how the school is planning to fix those issues? TIA[/quote]

It's run by the YMCA so it's not a safety thing and it's fairly well organized. It's just that aftercare doesn't really feel very enriching. They do have some language classes and clubs, but those cost extra. Talking to friends at charters and other DCPS it seems like aftercare is often just an after thought, and I think that's the case at F-S, too.
