[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May/June attendance is clearly a problem. Why all of a sudden am I getting texts from the school about attendance when my daughter is out.

Come on FCPS. It’s a problem these last couple of weeks when AP exams were in May and classes gave their finals right before then. DC has had one legit final over the past three days. [/quote]

Come on, FCPS. Let's start school at the beginning of August and end in late May. Then the semester break will align with winter break, and the AP/SOL schedule will align with the end of school. [/quote]They are purposefully choosing early SOL dates to allow a week or 2 of remediation and then one more go at the SOL for those on the margin of a pass.  If you end the year in May, then your DC’s SOL would also move up to mid April.  They are building the schedule to accommodate the test and repeat takers. [/quote]

Why can't those students attend summer school for remediation, while everyone else ends at Memorial Day?

It would be a win/win.

Close to year round school for the failing and struggling students, with a normal school year for everyone else
