My kids really benefitted from not having to be in the building (Pyle) for 18 months over the pandemic.

I'm filled with dread for another year in mcps.

The high school cross country team. My kids are still BFFs with a group of teammates. Supportive, kind, responsible, respectful kids.

Sigh.

Halloween party

My favorite time with MCPS as a student:

--Going to NYC with my school newspaper crew for the Columbia HS Journalism conference
--Being a "TA" for an elective period in HS
--The TP Magnet Florida trip, may it RIP

My favorite time as a parent:
--Kinder promotion
--First day photos
--Getting to chaperone ES field trips

taking first day of school photos

Clearly, graduation: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1209573.page#27656416

When you call central office for clarification and they do not know the answer to something their office is supposed to know. Have worked with many bureaucrats, this one is unbelievable.
