Now that outdoor activities are starting to offer school day classes, I’m signing them up. They won’t be able to attend classes a few days a week. I don’t know, I just can’t see that being a problem and if it is, ffs I’ll pull them and “homeschool”.

There is uniformity in the amount of class time offered across grade levels in DCPS. The actual times are up to individual schools.

+1 Deal released a tentative schedule that has absolutely nothing on Wednesdays - its entirely self-directed day apparently. The DCPS schedule made no mention of that in the 100% DL model....

Each DCPS school will be different, except the minimum live requirements all schools will adhere to.

My school has let teacher create the schedule.

So what requirements do parents need other than the time they have to have their kid sit down on the computer?

The first week of 2 will not have lessons anyway but testing individual students for things such as DIBELS.


You’ll get your info at the end of August. Teachers you can blame your personal school’s admin for not giving you information.

Just the hours my kid is expected to be online. I work full time and need to be able to tell my manager when I am and am not available. It doesn’t seem like a big ask. I have a K student, so he certainly can’t navigate opening emails, finding links, logging in, etc. I will be totally unavailable during that time and shock of all shocks, my employer needs to know that. I’m not worried about my older child who can read and do what needs to be done. But not the K student who will need close supervision and assistance.

So for K they have already told us that students will have live lessons only in the morning, so 8:30/9 to noon. And all the links will be on Canvas, which I think your K student might be able to manage with some training.

Not true, my school is not doing this.

Mine either. Schools are not all going to have the same schedule.

Interesting. Well, that is what DCPS has said will be true for K. https://dcpsreopenstrong.com/schedule/

This is what we are planning on. 1-2 hours actually on a computer most mornings. The rest of the work will have to be be done when we can fit it in on my breaks or in the evenings. I am sure we won't be the only ones juggling things and odd hours.
I don't know what to do on the days I have to leave the house to work in the mornings (thankfully I am only out of the house 2 mornings during the school week & 1 weekend day). My childcare currently can't handle getting everyone logged in and running a bunch of lessons. I guess we will have to talk to the school to figure out something.
