[quote=Anonymous]I agree with one of the PPs who says that DCPS needs to be working hard NOW to convince the parents of very young children in-boundary for the planned feeder schools to start thinking about MacFarland NOW. Families like mine are already lost. We live three blocks from MacFarland but we have a 6 and 10 year old who attend a WOTP DCPS and will most likely attend Hardy...I'm interested in watching MacFarland (and Roosevelt) develop and hopefully succeed, but I am nearly positive that we will not attend either. By second grade, families have a good idea of what their path will likely be for middle school. So whoever said that DCPS has several years to figure out how they'll attract younger families doesn't know what he/she is talking about. And presenting the school like it might be intended for native Spanish speakers (by hosting a meeting in Spanish only) will only serve to send the message to reasonably high SES English-speaking families that "MacFarland's not really for you." At this point, I do sort of wonder how the backroom discussions at DCPS characterize their plans for MacFarland. [/quote]
