[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you lottery into PK and you do not receive in bounds preference, you are considered by DCPS an OOB student. This is true in PK3 and 3rd grade and 12th grade.

I have not heard of an early childhood student being admitted OOB and then losing their space due to excessive absences, but I suspect that if DCPS wanted to do that, they would have justification. I do know of OOB kids in older grades who have been told that they cannot return the following year as a result of excessive absences. It does happen.

As for your reasons, you obviously know what is best for your family. I would strongly advise against the Labor Day trip, though. The week after Labor Day is the kids' first week together, and the teachers make an effort to orient everyone the same - learning names, learning classroom rules, etc. If you want to take mini-trips in the year, I would try to sync them up with DCPS professional development days (there are many) or focus on the breaks (which are substantial).[/quote]
