[quote=Anonymous]I think that the school recognizes that communications are an issue and had ideas to address that in the strategic plan.  That said, the happiest parents in a public school are those that take an active role in meeting their needs.  TuesNews is generally available on the website.  Anyone can join BrentNeighbors which is a good place to try to organize a playdate.  PTA meetings should be on the school calendar, are usually the 2nd Weds of the month, and are regularly attended by families without kids currently enrolled.  LSAT meetings are also open to the public and have a community representative member who last year was a shut out parent.  The meeting in 2013 that discussed the structure of the ECE was announced on BrentNeighbors and also attended by families who had been shut out.

For the past few years, the school has needed to find additional classroom space for the growing upper grades.  At first, this required moving a few things around, then the language teacher lost a dedicated classroom, this year DCPS is helping to fund moving more stuff around (I think the art room might be shrinking?).  The ECE classes were re-thought out as all mixed-age.  DCPS did a boundary and student assignment review, which so far has not had much effect on Brent, but there’s uncertainty in how the at risk set-asides will be determined.  Needless to say, there are a lot of moving parts, only some of which are under the principal’s control.
