[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can switch from hybrid to DL but not the other way around.  Our ACPS elementary school principal told parents at a meeting this week that he is keeping a list of families requesting to switch from DL to hybrid (but made no promises that it would be possible).  I still think it’s a good idea for parents to let their principals know and for schools to collect that data and information.[/quote]

Thank you.  Do you know why that is? It doesn't seem fair to ask parents to make a firm decision about the unknown. Many people scared in December might not be now given the increased availability of vaccine.[/quote]

Honest and serious question...what is the most constructive way to push back on this verdict of your decision in December equals what you get now? Both adults in our family have the vaccine now so we are comfortable with hybrid but in December we didn’t know that and picked distance. I know it’s out of the principals hands at this point, and it’s truly ridiculous we are being held to a December survey. What is the best way to counter this?[/quote]

I don't think you'll have much luck either.

There is a quote on this thread from an old ACPS express that indicates they would work with parents if situations change.  I believe that Hutchings said similar things during school board meetings around that time.  But honestly, nothing that was said or written matters much to ACPS or the school board.

As someone else suggested, reach out to your principal.  But I wouldn't expect any movement on this from them either.  I'm sure central office has their hands tied on this.

You could reach out to your school board members (be careful of the link on the ACPS website that emails all the school board members - that goes to Hutchings too.  Which is grating because the last time I checked he was supposed to be reporting to the school board) but they all defend everything central office and Hutchings do so don't expect much from them either.

This seems like something the PTAs could get together and say please allow for adjustments like you said you would but...they won't.

Parents truly have no where to go and are on their own.  ACPS is very anti-parent and no one advocates for us.

I hate to be so negative but this is years and years of experience talking.  [/quote]
