[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS and Arlington both used to have weekly early release days in ES years ago.  [b]Schools typically had enrichment programs that you can sign up for during the early release hours--STEAM, foreign language, sports clinics, various arts etc. -- and SACC adjusted to cover the early release hours.[/b]  It definitely was something my kid looked forward to and didn't really upset the schedule.  I think it worked out well.[/quote]

None of this has taken place.[/quote]

It may take a little time to ramp up, but I bet it will in a month or two after school starts. It's not like you can magically immediately will teachers for activities into place, but there are a lot of informal education programs in the area that will likely start providing services.[/quote]

I’m sure the local martial arts places and day care centers that kids go to after school are aware of the early releases. “At school” after school offerings are going to depend on the PTA, as they always have. Schools with more involved parents/PTA’s will have programs come in, but it’s not free - some are actually kind of $$$. Schools with less involved or no PTA will get nothing. But the fact remains that even the highest quality or most fun and enjoyable after school program is not a substitute for instructional time. [/quote]
