[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most P Street families (ie those with kids in 2nd and up) have been playing the lottery ever year since the terrible union/comms debacle.  We are one, but we value the language and hopefully for DCI so unfortunately we are lotterying for only DCB and Stokes, so our odds are slim. We have had teacher turnover and accepting kids in late elementary without dual/bi language approach is a mess. It's leading to social issues, but if I were a kid thrust into a classroom where I had no idea what was happening, I can imagine I'd react the same.  I know we aren't alone, and with a younger sibling, we probably will have our younger "bubble class" kid hold on for now.  It's not a great situation.[/quote]

Sorry to hear PP.  We are at Calle Ocho in 2nd grade, started when campus opened in K, active in the school, and know a number of families in all the 2nd grade classes.  No issues we know with new students coming in with no Spanish background.  Granted there is no 3rd to 5th yet but Calle Ocho is not taking any new kids in 3rd at all for next year since it’s an expansion year.

Like many schools, we have had some teachers leave and behavior issues with socio-emotional deficits with the pandemic.  But the school has taken steps to address these things at our campus.  We love our teachers, the kids, and families.  It’s a great community.  We have not played the lottery since getting in at K and no plans to either.[/quote]

I can name off dozens of families who are at Calle ocho without any Spanish background.

Boost away, fine, but straight up lying makes you look ridiculous.

I think you misunderstood what Pp said. [/quote]

You’re right I did. But they’re not being truthful re new kids in upper grades without Spanish background coming in either.  The school should not do that. [/quote]
