[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your plan sounds like it will work out for you, assuming you don’t have misgivings about FCPS handling the whole virus thing... I figure my kid will have all of his afternoons after DL free to work on projects, or play, as the situation demands. Once he has virtual classmates we plan to reach out and schedule in-person meet ups too. Whatever the decision is that we make, we made it clear that the decision is ours as parents, not his. We take the blame for whatever happens! It definitely shouldn’t be on his shoulders, though we are taking his feelings about it all into account. This all sucks.  Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

We're sitting on our hands about completing that form to make the choice for fall, because we do have misgivings about FCPS handling of all of this.  However, I trust her school.  The principal is a good guy, and seems to have good instincts.  For instance, on that Thursday before school closed in March, he told the entire school to take all their school stuff with them, although FCPS hadn't officially announced.  I think that he will do the right thing.  They're holding a chat next week, so parents can ask questions, and (hopefully) get some clarity on how it will all work in their school.  I will pick up and drop off DD, so there will be no bus issues.  If the kids essentially stay with same 10 kids in class (her class size was 20 last year), eat in class, and have specials teachers coming to them, the risk won't be that great.  [/quote]

Note that if you do not explicitly reply, they will mark your kid response as "in-person". However, you can always change when it comes down to it.  I think it may be easier to say you will attendnow, then  change to being remote than the other way around.

Good luck in your choice. [/quote]

In person option is an year long commitment as well. [/quote]

I think we'll all end up in DL by oh, November.  I do like that if we do in-person, and school has to go to DL, then there is the possibility that we can go back to in-person should conditions change.  The DL choice locks us in for the whole school year, which makes things more predictable, but might be a bad option if conditions on the ground don't get worse.[/quote]
