[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will change your child in PK3, it is recommended but not required to be potty trained.[/quote]

It depends on the teacher.[/quote]

Found this to be very true at our Title 1 DCPS. Teacher was very against having a kid wear pullups but that was not against school policy. Just her preference and she made it clear that she would not be assisting with helping to change him. The aide was much more willing to work with us on this by quietly helping our son with reminders and by the winter break things got better with less accidents and we were able to forego the pullups in the spring.

Now aftercare was a whole different story. The staff were really unhelpful and not understanding. Several times our son was found crying alone in the bathroom because he had an accident and was embarrassed to tell anyone. Everyone kept telling us not to worry, that the other potty trained kids would be a motivating influence. Turned out to not be true for us and the maturity (late summer baby) gained later in the school year helped the most. I will add that we and his daycare teachers were constantly trying to get him fully potty trained before the start of PK3 so it wasn't a lack of effort. [/quote]

Which is strange. Why make it so that the kids don’t have to be potty trained? If the teachers don’t have to help, it should be a rule that all the children should be potty trained. [/quote]

While PK isn’t compulsory DC does guarantee a spot for every child who lives in the district.  They can’t deny kids entry if they have a DC address.  [/quote]
