[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of history involved. The split has been there for many years, including when some of us were kids and did it.[/quote]

Of course I can Google the info, but I'd much rather hear it from someone who has first hand experience going through it.

I've never heard of kids attending one school for the first 3 years and then to another for the remainder of elementary  
Why not just make RH the main elementary school instead of the split?

What did the split time between schools accomplish?

I naively assumed it was due to over population, like you hear so often in MCPS elementary's, but there seems to be much more of an intentional agenda at play here.

My kids loved RH (with the exception of the long bus ride) and it was an adjustment for them starting a new school in the middle of elementary.

I would have much rather had them either attend RH for the entirety of elementary or NCC for the entirety, as they seemed to have a hard time in the beginning with the adjustment to a new school... much more so than had they stayed put at one or the other, I believe.

The biggest thing that bothered them by far was losing some very close, dear friends when they transitioned to NCC.

We obviously still keep in touch with them, but it's not the same as knowing that you'll be able to see your very best friends every day at school. :(

I was just looking for some clarification.
