Why would they hand out a certificate? It's kindergarten, not high school.

Our teacher planned a short 20 minute celebration for outside to hand out certificates and we got an email today saying it had been cancelled.

Why do Kindergartners need a promotion ceremony?

This is why everyone loathes millenials and lawnmower parenting.

Graduating Kindergarten does NOT make you special, snowflake.

She won't even let the teachers hand out a certificate.

WTH?

Pre k has a promotion ceremony. K does not. Is that what the parents were planning?

We are at another Ward 4 Deal/Wilson feeder, and have a kindergartner. No such K-wide celebration over here (although my kid's teacher is doing something small within the classroom that she herself recently planned).

We're at another school. We do not have k celebrations.

What exactly were you planning, OP?

Why does there need to be an "end of year" celebration anyway?

I'm liking this principal more and more.

1) There is no Lafayette parent list-serv - can you imagine the insanity?

2) My kindergartner's class isn't planning a big party. The teacher organized something, and requested 3 volunteers, but that's it - no large amount of parent work and planning. Is this post another attempt to whip up a frenzy?

Another thread about the Lafayette principal...

I was just starting to type the same thing. This is nothing of interest to anyone outside of that group.

Doesn't Lafayette have a parent listserv?

Lafayette was told to cancel their K celebrations, per Dr. B's orders.
How disheartening for the parents who planned and put their hard work into the end of the year celebrations.

We are thinking of doing an end of the year party for the kids after school hours. Remcommendations for NW places kids can go? Are you K'ers allowed to have parties? How is it received by admin?

This is so frustrating.
We really tried with Dr. B this year..
