Not sharing the school, but we are in California. You can do an intra-district transfer to another school, but in the case of this school they aren’t really taking transfers anymore except for certain situations (like an older sibling already attends the school). We know a student that had our school as his home school, but due to missing too many days was still disenrolled and moved to another school in the district with plenty of space. I also met a mom who moved to the district (missed initial enrollment) and hadn’t been able to get her child in since the grade was already full, and was very far down the waitlist. I’m not sure how all that works on the backend, but it definitely happens repeatedly.
Up until our children were in 6th grade we went to WDW the week prior to thanks giving. We would leave on Monday after school and return Sunday morning. We let the school know in advance and were given all of the work they needed to do for that week on the Monday when we leaving. We would go to the parks in the morning then back to the room to rest (nap) then they did school work ( we sent that days work to the teachers by email, this is the agreement we had with the school) and went back to the parks at night. This was back when the crowd calendar for this week was 2/10 to 3/10 so the place was pretty empty and could get on everything in the morning for that park. They did their school work a day early (did Tuesday's work on Monday on the airplane so by Thursday they were done for the week) We stopped pulling them out of school after 6th grade since the work was getting harder for both my wife and I to be able to help them with their school work, also this time period was when WDW just beginning to get popular in November before Thanksgiving week and more crowded. Sorry your school district is so strict.
Hmmm...interesting. I'll have to do some more digging into this. My philosophy on public education would generally go against this, however man would our jobs be waaayyyy easier if we were able to push kids out of our public school due to attendance. I'm not even talking oh your kid missed a week or 2 for a vacation, but are typically doing well in school. I'm talking about the students who consistently miss multiple days a week, are failing most, if not all of there classes who's parents seemingly don't care/feel they have no control. Again, not sure how it helps society as whole, however that would certainly make our jobs so much easier and would make our school look better. I just can't figure out how a publicly funded school would be allowed to do this. And again; how harmful is this to the other school/students and why does the receiving school not get a say so? Very interesting.
Some areas have school choice, ours does not, but you are not guaranteed a spot in the elementary school in your neighborhood due to overcrowding.
When I read this it seems so strange to me. I've never lived anywhere that there was a choice in schools other than private schools. Even in the state capital here, there are 4 elementary schools, and 2 high schools. Where you go is based on where you live in town and you can't choose to go to one or the other. If you don't like the school you have to move or pay for private school.
). I gave all my teachers 3 weeks' notice and did all my work except 1 test before I left. I was in all advanced classes, but also had a reputation for being hardworking and always being on top of everything so it wasn't a big deal.
He missed an entire day and 1 period. They excused it. We don't usually pull him out for vacations though, and he rarely had sick days. His grades are decent, but not as good as he could do.
