[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got an email from my kids' elementary school about early release. The text explicitly says that students will dismiss at 12:25 pm. Not one word about even the possibility of aftercare.[/quote]

I noticed this today, too. It makes me wonder if they are trying to walk it back.[/quote]

It’s going to be one of those things that is desperately uneven at different schools. If your school has an involved PTA, you’ll have extra programming to choose from but it will be $$. If your kids are in SACC, they’ll just have extra SACC hours on those days. If you don’t have much of a PTA, it’ll be crickets and “remember to pick up your kids at 12:25, see you tomorrow!” [/quote]

I totally agree with you that it’s going to be uneven and look different at different schools. But just because you might have an involved PTA, don’t necessarily bank on there being Monday programming to choose from. It’s not as easy as some may think for a PTA to schedule and oversee a three-hour enrichment program on top of the many things they already do. [b]My guess is a lot of PTAs aren’t going to want to be involved with this. [/b]

This. The sweet spot is involved PTA with working parent officers. [b]A bunch of SAHMs are not going to blow their budget [/b]and spend their time programing for working parents [/quote]

What do you mean by blow their budget?[/quote]
