Year Round School??
| Tue, 08-28-2007 - 6:01pm |
Hi ~ does anyone have a 6th grader in year round school? I'm looking for suggestions on what to do with DS11 during the "off track" time when I have to work.... I only have so much PTO and I don't want to impose on family too much. Help?!


I like the idea of year around school but your dilema is exactly why I believe that unless a city has every school on the same schedule it won't work. Here all of our summer camps are offered ... in the summer. If you had your vacation in October you are stuck. But if all school's closed the same time then you could have camps run in August, November, February and May or whenever works.
How old is he? Do you know if any of his friend's parents would be interested in babysitting (for a price) over the break? Some parents would like to bring in a little extra cash, SAHMs. Good luck finding something, its tough if they are too old to go to daycare but too young to stay home all day.
I think that you should call the school or district office and ask what programs are offered for kids during their off time.

My SD was in year round school until she started High School this year. She came to stay with us over breaks and we really like the schedule, because it allowed us more time with her than if she had been on a traditional calender. She stayed with my parents if one of us wasn't able to be home.
Does your school system offer any kind of day camps during the breaks?
