[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're a prospective new family with a son who would be entering Kindergarten. REALLY want some honest feedback about the school (class sizes, teachers, etc.) Particularly interested to hear about the following: 1) how the transition into Kindergarten is handled, and 2) how well the school monitors kids being/getting sick (of course hard to avoid the spread of germs but had a great experience with a preschool who was really on top of it to avoid super spreaders, particularly for an immunocompromised child). Thanks so much for any helpful insight and guidance - we really appreciate it! And for what its worth, the "crazy parents" comments aren't particularly helpful.[/quote]

I know this response might be a little late. But, as a parent who sent an immunocompromised kid to school at Lafayette last year, it was okay (which is really all we could have hoped for!). We communicated with teachers and staff, and know they took some extra care with regard to cleaning/sanitization and picking a seat for our kid that wasn't right in the middle of everything (though they inserted themselves into the middle of everything all the same, so, ya know). We also communicated with fellow parents in the class—which is really awkward and sucks, but most parents were very kind and understanding about everything—just to make people aware of our child's situation, in hopes that it'd maybe make someone think twice about sending kids to school on the wrong side of "borderline." Kiddo still got sick, as did their older sibling, but I think that's just a reality of things. We did utilize masks from time to time if it seemed like too much was going around/we had some reason why avoiding illness was especially important (heightened immunocompromised status, for example).

Everyone's experience is obviously unique, but we've always had a good experience with teachers and staff in terms of accommodating health issues (and helping kids get caught up after dealing with things). And we at least found that parents in the community were really supportive and kind. [/quote]
