[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're interested in an independent school, call now. I work in one and we're getting a ton of interest. We unexpectedly have a few spots, too -- though not many -- because it's working both way. Some families are out of work or furloughed and returning to public for economic reasons.[/quote]

Is your school planning to be online in the fall or open for in-person instruction? What are the conversations like around this topic at your school?[/quote]

No one has a crystal ball, but yes, the plan is to do whatever necessary to get the kids back in school physically if at all possible. I don’t want to say where I work, but call the smaller independent schools in MD and DC. No one can promise anything, but our administrators have been clear that they don’t intend to follow MCPS/DCPS when making that call. There is some concern we might start and then need to move to distance learning again, but there’s a big push to start the year at in person. I’m feeling optimistic and wish I felt the same way about my own kids’ public school, and that might pose a different issue for independents like the one where I work — what do you do if you can open but your teaching staff has kids at schools that don’t open? There may be some who need to continue to work remotely for a while. [/quote]

Thank you for this information.  I am going to make some calls for my middle school kid.  My other kid is already going private next year.  I can’t let the kid endure another moment of this joke self taught online learning with zero teacher instruction.  [/quote]
