[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like it would be helpful to know immediately so the student could do summer school. Additionally, right now there is the VDOE grant the family could have used for tutoring.

The fact APS has a policy to wait till the last allowable minute unlike FCPS is the concerning theme of this thread IMO. Why hide this from parents?[/quote]

I don't know, but people should be making public comments about this to the school board. emailing the principal does nothing when it's a district wide policy. [/quote]

No one is going to make public comment about their own kid failing SOLS. That’s not a realistic expectation and should not be needed.[/quote]

Parents can meet with school board members privately.

This.  Tell me how to do this.  I do not want my child’s SOL story the fodder for public comments.  See deeply offensive comments on this thread about the child and our parenting skills. [/quote]

What!? You choose to put this on a public anonymous message board and proceeded to throw several hissy fits when responses didn’t back up your outrage.  [/quote]

Op here. Feel pretty backed up. My reading is that no one here can justify APS’ delay and most folks think it was pretty horrible to not tell families before summer break.  [/quote]

I’d say it’d be “pretty horrible” for kids who need to earn HS credit and have to change their whole HS schedule last minute and may not graduate on time.

Very, very few kids get selected for summer school. VA DOE isn’t giving out more grants. So the school was likely going to address it in the fall when they have someone available to actually set up intervention plan.
