[quote=Anonymous]My DD just started K at a parochial school in NoVA this fall.  What we have done thus far, is:

1)  I (mom) switched to part-time so I could be home with her in the afternoons.  So I can do p/up and also any extracuriculars.  So, later one (middle-school, hs, etc.) I can be there for supervision when I think issues get trickier (driving, peer influence, etc.)

2)  We pay for morning care at the school.  It is about $100/month.  We can drop her off as early as 7 a.m. and the school bell rings at 8:15.  I drop her off at about 7:15-7:30 and then go on to my job in Tysons at 8:30.

We are about 4 weeks into this and so far, so good, but we'll see how it continues to go.  I already am pretty ticked at the amount of random 11:30 a.m. dismissal days I see coming up on the year's calendars, the # of random teacher-work days, the HUGE amount of time they get off at Christmas (2 weeks!!), etc.  We are going to be playing these by ear. . . .my parents do live close by so they will try to help as they can but I have 5 other siblings all around the country (and world!) who deserve to have them come visit too, so I cannot be "greedy" and assume that they'll be there whenever we need them.[/quote]
