[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many charters have half days one day a week.

Among them:
DC Bilingual
Bridges

Most of the rest we applied to.

I don't really care one way or the other that they changed the calendar.  With all due respect, this is in no way a "last minute change."  It's March.

You all are sounding kind of entitled.

By the way, at Inspired Teaching we don't usually air our dirty laundry on DCUM.  We talk directly to each other and to the administration.  If you need this much control, you may not be cut out for Charters.

Count me as another parent who hopes the administration doesn't cave on this.

But is there a charter that has half days with no aftercare?  Because until ITS announces that there is aftercare, there isn't.

If the administration would respond to my emails I might be able to talk with them.  The IFA is "trying" to figure out a way to work this into their obviously very busy and important meeting agenda.  But they'll never stand up to the administration or question anything they're told.

This isn't about control.  It's about the administration's rudeness in changing the calendar without an apology for their mistake, and for their indifference to the inconvenience they're imposing on parents.  ITS already has the most inconvenient back-to-school phase-in week that I've been able to find in any DCPS elementary school that isn't Montessori.  I was fine to put up with that, but this change is such a pain I feel I have to speak up.

Parents on DCUM are applying to ITS and should know that this is how the administration treats the families.  [/quote]

My DCPS PK kid’s schedule is even worse. Especially with older kid. I’d rather have at least have days than no school at all the first 3 days of school, well after camps are out.[/quote]

What is the schedule exactly at your school and how is it worse?[/quote]

All DCPS PK kids don’t start until 3 days after school starts for rest of students, Wed. Sept 3. For those of us with older kids that start 8/31, it’s not like we can be on vacation. We have to take 3 full days off of work just to be home with PK kids. If it were half days like ITS, at least I could try to figure out a telework situation or work half days. [/quote]
