[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does MS to HS articulation remain the same based on where you're enrolled at the time of the change, or does it change based on home address?

Our neighborhood is currently zoned to SSIMS and Northwood, but will become Eastern and Blair if this recommendation is accepted.

DC will finish at SSIMS in June 2029. Would they remain with Northwood, or follow the "new" neighborhood boundary to Blair?[/quote]

I could be wrong, but I believe they'd switch to Eastern in Fall 2027 and then go on to Blair. [/quote]

PP here. I thought they were doing no transfers in OR out of SSIMS before the closure. That's why it makes the HS issue more confusing.[/quote]

Keeping SSIMS elementary assignments stable was the plan when they were moving forward with the closure, with options E-G.  Then when the decision got delayed, there wasn't really any advocacy to keep SSIMS together through the boundary study (I think it was mostly SCES and Highland View families who figured they'd get to stay no matter what so it wasn't a priority for them) so it looks like MCPS just went with what was easiest for them.  (There's no good way to keep all the middle school assignments the same for a few more years without keeping Arcola ES at Odessa Shannon MS, but those are on opposite sides of their beloved big black Regional Boundary Line, so of course that was unthinkable.)

And yes, boundaries go into effect immediately in the 2027-28 year based on where your address falls on these maps-- unless a kid is going into 8th, 11th or 12th grade in which case they can stay at their old school.  Your child is a 5th grader, correct?  They will go to SSIMS next year, then switch to Eastern in 7th with the new boundaries, and then move on to Blair when it's time for high school.[/quote]
