[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The heat challenges in the school appear to be related to the additional burden of new safety standards requiring them to reheat fresh air from outside instead of recirculating it.  I'm as disheartened as anyone to have my kid at home because of it, but I think the school doing all they can to deal with something unfortunate that happened in part due to their good faith attempt to make the building safe inside.

We've had kids at Cap City for years and are thankful for their experience.  Like others, I was disappointed that they stayed virtual last year, but their fall reopening plan was definitely more thoughtful than DCPS.  They do weekly PCR testing of every single student (instead of the 10 percent random testing that DCPS did until recently, and even now they are using rapid tests which are not as sensitive).  I don't like virtual instruction either nor do I think it's nearly as good as in person school, but it's a better alternative  than what most DCPS schools offer when kids have to isolate.

I also agree that there one or two disgruntled posters who never pass up a chance to throw shade at the school.   [/quote]

It's not throwing shade so much as feeling the need to warn others. We, too, were once happy at Capital City. However since we moved to DCPS we are so much happier. I didn't realize just how bad Capital City was until we moved. I think DCPS has done a way better job this year. My child has not been quarantined or had to isolate at all. In person every single day for full day instruction. You may be happy at Capital City, and i do hope it works out for your kids, but I also hope you are fully aware of the fact that they are not providing adequate services because they just aren't.
