[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is fcps.  There weren 't any trailers at this school last year, so there is no history or precedent on policies and procedures other than other ES in fcps that have trailers.  For those pp's who referenced groupings of trailers....was there a trailer that has bathrooms and fountains?  For those who say it's no big deal....you may be right or not....but it sounds like your kids are not in trailers so you really have no factual basis for your conclusion.  I prefer to gather facts before I make my conclusions.  We have a choice on sending our child to this school or another school that does not have a certain program, but has much better logistics and facilities.  All data matters in weighing our options.[/quote]

I am the poster whose child was in a trailer for 3rd in APS.  It was basically as someone else described - one big trailer with a hallway down the middle and two classrooms on each side.  The bathroom, which I believe was a single, was on one end in the same trailer. The water fountain was right next to the bathroom.

I teach in FCPS, but in high school, and we also had trailers while under renovation.  Those also had 4 classrooms, but no common hallway.  They each had doors that opened to the outside.  No bathrooms either - that was not fun for the teachers - students didn't seem to mind because a trip to the bathroom got them out of class for at least 10 minutes while they went back to the main building![/quote]
