[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at putting our kindergartener in a daycare that is running a transitional kindergarten class instead of attempting the distance learning. It's unclear whether we need to formally state we are going to home school, or if we can just enenroll from K and go back next year to our inbound school.  Has anyone been able to get a straight answer on this?[/quote]

Our charter is being very flexible and has said that they are ok with kids forgoing DL and they would not lose their spot as long as they are doing something and learning. So it would be a good idea to email and check with your school. [/quote]

What charter is this?[/quote]

Lee Montessori. Really happy that they are being flexible. Our kid was pretty decent with the online classes and has been asking when they are going to restart. We plan to continue with the DL as much as we can, but love that the school is understanding that the online learning doesn't work with every kid and letting the families choose the best path for them. This is what they said:

We’ll leave the light on
Any family opting for alternatives (homeschool, daycare, pods) will retain their spot
[b]Families will need to participate in regular check-ins (accountability + wellness)
Families can work with Guides and Specials Teachers for more ad hoc participation[/b]
[/quote]

Is this for all grades? [/quote]

As far as I know, yes. [/quote]

Wow, I have to say I wouldn't like this approach for anything past K.  [/quote]

I'm surprised this would pass muster with OSSE and DCPCSB. Are they still expecting their full per-pupil allocation for kids who are enrolled in daycare or other programs? [/quote]

Did you miss the part about them still needing to check with the teachers regularly and still having to do some "ad hoc participation".

So you all with crib about your kids not being able to sit in front of a screen, and that you can't manage DL schedule while working from home, also crib about parents who have formed pods to solve this problem, crib about schools opening, crib about schools closing, crib about too much screen time and now crib about a school being flexible. I don't read the above statement as go play, we don't care, BUT as we care, we are here and we will work with you in these difficult times. Sheesh!!

Also, these are just three lines from the whole presentation. So just consider the option that there is more nuance to it. [/quote]
