Just announced 2hrs early. [/quote]

Ha- they couldn’t do what everyone else is and call 3hours.  It isn’t in the policy to have an 3 hour early dismissal. and they were stuttering trying to figure out if they could subtract 3 from the dismissal time instead of 2.   [/quote]

All schools already have a 2 hour early dismissal schedule established, so APS schools do 2 hour early releases when needed.  FCPS does 3 hour early releases, so that’s what they called.

You do realize that students do things after they get to school, right?  Trying to revise and reprogram a bell schedule (for changing classes) for 3 hour early release for MS and HS at the last minute? Redoing elementary school schedules for lunch, recess and specials?  Revising staff coverage times for duties and special education?  Revising bus times?  Go ahead -  you get on top of that and we’ll see what you have figured out by tomorrow morning.

I cannot imagine the swirl of ego and ignorance that allows someone to spout such nonsense.  It does seem to be a combination unique to Arlington.  [/quote]

I realize a lot and some of which you are wrong about.   APS has procedures in place for regular 2.5 hour early dismissal or almost that for elementary.  FCPS has 2 hour and sometimes 3 hour for professional development.  For example most APS elementary who dismiss at 3:50 usually go home at 1:30 for early dismissal. That is what happened last Thursday for parent conferences. Now they are going to redo that schedule to dismiss at 1:50.  [/quote]
