[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're at a feeder then you shouldn't need a new forum! You should be asking your feeder's head to provide information. DCI does special info sessions at each feeder for the parents, the kids at the feeders get a buddy day at DCI, and then there are general info sessions every month beginning next month at DCI. 
Forums on DCUM are quickly overrun by trolls and those with their own agendas (both pro and against a school) which serve only to muddy waters and make parents anxious or incensed. Go find out for yourself, but again, start with the head of your feeder. They are on DCI's board and are supposed to be communicating about DCI with their constituents.[/quote]

NP here. The heads aren't doing this uniformly and ours specifically said she didn't feel comfortable speaking to the day to day experiences and policies of the school. At least last year, the buddy day for 2 of the feeder schools happened after the lottery deadline. DCI could do better at reaching out to 3rd/4th grade parents given the realities of application deadlines at other charter and private school options.

I am NOT saying that DCUM is the best or even a good place to answer questions. But I'm not surprised that feeder school parents (not to mention people who want to try for a not-lottery seat at DCI) are craving a bit more information. DCI is still a new school juggling a lot (two buildings, a construction project and the first year of a full middle school cohort) and hopefully this will improve over time.
