[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that you can't choose to have your child repeat a grade in DCPS. The teacher and principal may in rare cases decide it's advisable, but otherwise you'd have to go to private to repeat K. But as for actual redshirting, I'm redshirting my son. He makes the cutoff by 6 days, but I'd rather he wait a year. [/quote] Unless you have some sort of agreement, when you register next year, they will place your child in first grade.[/quote] Yeah, PP, you better check w/ the school. Your child is legally required to be in school once they turn 5, so you can't just not start them unless you want CPS involved when you try to register. You can probably do this via private school enrollment as long as you're talking about your IB, but confirm with the school. I have a friend whose kid was placed in 1st grade (age appropriate -- late July birthday) after PK4 done privately, because the school principal refused to budge.[/quote]
