[quote=Anonymous]Announcing DL through Nov. 6 is basically saying no in-person school until 2021. No way they will bring teachers and students back to school right before Thanksgiving and then again between Thanksgiving and winter break. Not only would this be really disruptive for kids, trying to adjust to a new hybrid schedule in the midst of all the days off, but the breaks will pose heightened health dangers as people travel and gather with family/friends. So we're looking at January 2021 at the earliest, and that's only if we don't see another spike in cases this winter.

Not complaining. It was clear from the recent town halls that DCPS had no plan in place to deal with the Covid cases that schools would definitely see. That was the last straw for me on in-person and would have chosen DL anyway (or nothing, my kid is PK so we're trying to figure out if the DL option will be worth trying to participate). But I think if they were serious about trying to figure out a way to bring kids into schools in 2020, they would be aiming for early October. We're going to hit a point of no return this fall and then the will to try and make it work for diminishing returns will completely evaporate.[/quote]
