[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not in Title I or Focus schools.  Everybody else, common in 3th or 5th, not the lower grades.  Ours is a big/overcrowded school, and that is the norm, not the exception.  But, usually not until mid-year, not at the start of the year!

Let me guess, one of the many new Principals who does what MCPS tells them and doesn't know how to finesse the system to get what they need?[/quote]

OP here- Yes, new principal this year, but this isn't the first time MCPS has refused staffing requests for this school.  In second grade, my child was in a class that started at 29 students and went over 30 students during the school year.  They added an extra teacher for third grade, which improved things considerably.  Now we are losing a teacher again for fourth grade.  In a small school that has a good reputation, but when you are packing 30+ students in a classroom with one teacher, it's not ideal for the teacher or the students.   Ugh, any advice on what to do to address this at the parent level? (sending letters/emails to MCPS has gotten nothing but radio silence) [/quote]

You need to go to the State, which has accountability for education.  Cc your elected delegates and MoCo council candidates on your correspondence. [/quote]
