[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oak Hill attends Franklin and is likely switching to the new HS. All of the MS that feed into the 5 HS that could be impacted by Western are getting the presentation. They got it at Hughes MS and Carson MS. [/quote]

Ok then pull the Oak Hill kids out of advisory and leave the rest of us the hell alone![/quote]
Lady, put down the bottle!!! All kids within the boundaries of Oakton, Chantilly, Westfield, Centerville, and South Lakes will have the option to attend Western, regardless of whether they are in boundary or not. THAT MEANS YOUR KID. So, sorrynotsorry, but this does apply to you. Relax. Get help.[/quote]

You’re an idiot. My kid will actually not have the option to attend because I’m not driving them on a daily basis. It’s an automatic no for us. We are not going to be in boundary so there would be no bus transportation. I’m also not switching my child to a school that is further away from their base school and where none of their friends would be going. I don’t give a d@mn what offerings the joint has.[/quote]

The option is available. You may not allow your child to opt in and I'm sure a lot of other people feel the same way, but that doesn't mean the option is not available. Nobody here is telling you to send your child to Western. Get a grip!!![/quote]

DP, but you are being intentionally obtuse. These presentations are intended to persuade kids Western is a superior option to their base schools, even if transportation ultimately won’t be provided. It puts parents in the position of having to be the bad guys who say no.

It’s unfortunate that Michelle Reid apparently can’t be happy and feel like she’s accomplished something unless others are disappointed. [/quote]

Have you never had to be the bad guy and say no to your kid before? No wonder schools are a mess. You all are afraid to tell your kids no![/quote]

Totally fine telling my kid “no” and I’m not the PP, but do you think it is OK that no official programming has been announced to parents while the kids have received detailed info about aviation programs? That’s slimy….especially with it already being the winter before a proposed fall 2026 opening. [/quote]

There have been three meetings now, two via Zoom and one in person, where they discussed the curriculum in depth, not just the AI/aviation programs either. That information went out to every parent with kids in the 5 pyramids that can choose to opt in. [/quote]
