Klingon is definitely the target language, but I think it is exploring offering snark as a third language starting in second grade.


So glad we agree!

Thanks in advance for your helpful replies. I can't take any snark after receiving this horrible news.


I heard that last year, they actually went negatively into the waitlist. In other words, they took away spots from some people admitted in the initial lottery later in the year. I think it had something to do with the new founder with twins.

It's too bad you only have quadruplets. Quintuplets or higher would give you more shots at the lottery.

That is SO HRCS! Only HRCS toddlers nap at 7:00pm!


HRCS parent here. Our kids don't nap at school or in the extended day program because there is just so much to LEARN. The exception is that if three and four year olds are dreaming in Klington, then they are allowed to nap.


My child already dreams in Klingon. It is SO UNFAIR that there is not Klingon preference for the lottery.

I just got an email from HRCS: Because of the threat of snow, school is closed TODAY, 3/2/14. Glad they let me know! We've been outside the school since 8:30am wondering why no one is here to let us in, it's like everyone's in a secret classroom or something!

You should try to become a "new founder" at HRCS.


You are so right! Thanks.

My child has known they wanted to attend HRCS since before conception, so they would be SO disappointed not to be able to continue in their target language and also (if they offer this, who can research it all) target meditation/ interpretive (sp?) dance.

Why leave DC's education up to a public, common lottery?

This is HRCS, because it may or may not snow tomorrow we are letting you know to stay tuned that we may or may not announce somewhere that we may or may not close school.

Say tuned.
