[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recommend visiting open houses this fall so your kiddo can start getting a feel for the schools without all the pressure that comes in 8th grade. We found this very helpful.[/quote] The problem is that many schools won’t let you register for a HS open house in 7th grade. The events are already too crowded with 8th grade families.[/quote] That was not our experience at any school we visited, and DC’s k-8 encouraged families to start going to HS open houses in the fall of 7th. Every school was welcoming of 7th graders. Now, we obviously didn’t visit every single school in the greater DMV area, so sure, there could be a school that doesn’t want 7th graders, but it’s certainly not common. [/quote]
