[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is about middle school, but to the Haycock parent with a child getting kicked out of there, I'd just view it as a better way for your children to get to know other children who will attend middle school and then high school with them eventually. Hopefully you'll meet parents that you can become friends with for years as well. All of the schools being considered have active PTA's and a long list of afterschool and family activities as well. Not sure what parents of current Haycock students within the Marshall pyramid are afraid of. [b]Signed, A mom with a young child at one of schools being considered for AAP transfer students who also will not be able to have her children attend Haycock AAP in the future[/b].[/quote] Not a Haycock parent, but a military parent whose child has attended 4 elementary schools in 5 grades. This is very easy for you to say, because you are not having to move your child to their third school in 2-3 years. (from base school to AAP center, then to a new center) The issue is that there is no grandfather clause for the children who are already established in a school that they love. It is so disruptive to have kids change schools multiple times in just a few years. To do it when it is a necessity is one thing. To do it because the district is pushing through an ill-conceived, rushed plan is another one entirely.[/quote] +1 My kids have also had to move for reasons related to my work (non-military government service) and I agree 100%[/quote]
