[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry your innocently asked question got derailed by a lot of posters who apparently don't have kids at LA and who decided to go after each other and you. I hope you don't think all the snarkiness somehow reflects LA. It only reflects DCUM, unfortunately.

My child goes to LA (6th) and it has been a great school for us. I wouldn't name names in a forum like this anyway, for reasons others have mentioned, but also because we did not start at LA until third grade and teachers have changed somewhat over the years; however, I would suggest you go to the LA PTA web site (separate from the school website, which you also should visit) to learn more about the activities there, the extracurriculars, PTA programs, etc. Have you visited the school yet? Definitely do so before your kids start there, if you can. It's an older school in need of more space that isn't on the horizon but we've found the teachers to be good to great (in both the AAP and base programs) and the administration to be very supportive and helpful. Ask to meet with your kids' teachers before the kids start, so you can ask the teachers how they'll work to move your kids into the curriculum and you can tell them (as much as you want) about your own situation -- you want them to be aware of any stresses your kids may be under as they move and change schools.

I hope your move goes well. It's tough to move midyear and especially tough to deal with helping a family member in need. Good for you for making that move. Your kids will do fine at LA. If you can, get involved there and get to know other parents, teachers and others in the school. [/quote]
