[quote=Anonymous]I am the person with kids at mann, one of them has a 504 plan and so long as you are the best advocate you can be for your child, getting help will be no problem. I don't think kids are left on their own, it is a very small school and everyone knows everyone else, the teachers talk to one another when some insight is needed on a particular student,  and the class size may change after the renovation. Mann is supposed to house 200 students including the trailers and is at about 300, but that is half the size of all the other blue ribbon DCPS elementaries nearby (Key and Janney) Also, I want to say that the person who said that Janney had a better social atmosphere yet has no children there does not know what they are talking about. My kids attended nursery school that "feeds into" and are in scouts with a number of Janney students, and they are different socially but Janney is so big that oftentimes parents and kids don't know each other-same with Key. EVERYONE knows everyone at Mann> the median income is greater at Mann most likely, and the ambassador's residences are in the Mann boundaries, so you have a lot of international kids that way (as does Key via World Bankers and IMFers vs Mann's embassy employees) and that alone may make you feel more at ease since you are coming from  abroad. Mann is VERY proud of its international student body, and there is a great deal of ESL support considering its size. My daughter one year had 2 kids from Italy join her class, where there were two Italian kids in place already, and the ESL teacher practically lived in their classroom that year.[/quote]
