[quote=Anonymous][quote=calexander]Don't forget to post your questions regarding MacFarland.  The first community cabinet meeting is tomorrow.[/quote]

My questions are similar to what some others seem interested in. We live in Petworth and would like to at least consider MacFarland as an option. My children attend a well-regarded WOTP school that is not dual language or immersion. Our kids get one Spanish class a week. Right now, our plan is to attend Hardy. The only way we'd consider the new and improved MacFarland is to feel confident that the non-dual language track is equally rigorous and the teachers are equally talented and effective. I completely understand DCPS devoting lots of energy to create buzz around the MacFarland dual language track--it's their newest thing and it will open before the non-dual language track will, so they have to get all those ducks in a row now). But I soon want to hear what is planned for those children who don't speak Spanish...the kids coming from Barnard, Raymond, West, Truesdall.

I realize that the "regular" middle school won't open until 18/19, but that's not far off and DCPS should not wait to start planning for it and for communicating with prospective parents. Most of us won't leave something like middle school to chance. We'll be watching closely, soaking up every bit of intel they are willing to give us.  [/quote]
