[quote=Anonymous]The 6th grade moved out of CCES when Silver Creek opened.  That first year there was no change in the number of CES classrooms, just no 6th graders.  The CCES community was consulted before the decision to build Silver Creek about moving the 6th graders out, but it was likely mostly discussions with families whose children are now too old to be directly affected.  I will tell you that when my family was house hunting in 2014 it was already public information on the MCPS website that the 6th graders would be moving to Silver Creek in 2017 and no longer be at CCES and NCC.  As a RHPS and NCC graduate myself, it was something I considered.

The second year of no 6th graders (last year) ONE CES class was added.  One.  The new teacher who joined the Center came from somewhere up-County.  Not from CCES’s regular program.  Now this year there is one more - because there are 3 rooms of 4th and 3 rooms of 5th.  And the new 5th grade CES teacher came from CCES’s regular program.  I can understand resentment about that, but also, lots of favorite teachers at our neighborhood school have moved to other schools for a variety of reasons.  It happens.  Rather than hate on people who really know nothing about the history and are not at all responsible for any of the relevant decisions, work on collaborating with the administration to build community in a way that feels good to the community.  Maybe there should be more joint RHPS/CCES PTA events.  Maybe there should be RHPS/CCES/NCC events.  Center families have challenges to participating including living further away and having other children in other schools that are closer to home with their own PTAs and activities and events - and with kids that our kids will go to MS with and need to maintain connections too.  It is a challenging situation for CCES, but hating on Center parents really solves none of the problem.  [/quote]
