#PreK-8
This school is a **PreK–8** school, not a HS. It had to have basically been built by parents. Wtf

Also this is a PreK–8 school, not a HS, so parents had to have been heavily involved

Good news! The Dept. of Defense was awarded $86M to rebuild & expand Tinker PreK-8 School that serves the students of military service members stationed at MacDill AFB!🇺🇸👏

The funding will improve the school’s campus, expand its capacity and enhance the kids learning experience.

chicago public schools has a start at this: neighborhood schools with preK-8 in one building; then high school for big kids old enough to commute themselves on public transit.

no middle school = no fraught changing schools+routines at the exact same life moment as changing hormones+ identities.
I’m on record as saying that we should abolish middle school right along with venture capital, global whiteness and spicy gum.

I have no plan for 10-14 year olds beyond that but anything is better than middle school, my god.

(Also just realized this actually doesn’t have high schoolers. it’s a PreK–8, giant yikes)

A mom I knew when our kids were in PreK tried to sorta correct my parenting: “God expects obedience from us, and for children to honor their parents. In our house, we practice obedience by listening the 1st time- no questions asked.”
8 yrs later, that kid couldn’t reason his way out of a paper bag.

Pittsburgh Arlington PreK-8 has seen stable leadership, thoughtful approaches to conflict and need, and a plunge in the violence that plagued the halls last year.
Pittsburgh school takes last year’s 100+ fights down to single digits
Huddles and healing circles have helped take Arlington PreK-8 from 100+ fights in a year to less than 10.

Današnji izlet v center Ljubljane je poskrbel za dva WTF momenta, kot sledi:
1 lokal Ma chérie ne obstaja več, kljub temu spletna stran deluje in lahko prek nje še vedno rezerviraš mizo;
2 torte v Zvezdi so že po 8 evrov. #svakogadanausvakompogledusvevišenapredujem

"why aren't more people having kids"

Because for the last 8 years nothing has been done to make it affordable or safe to have kids.

No paid leave.
No universal healthcare.
No universal childcare or PreK.

Not to mention:
Abortion bans.
RFK Jr and whatever the fuck he decides to do with vaccines.

I wonder what it's like in other areas, but where I live there are as many as three of them depending on your grade.

9-12 only has the regular USA one.
6-8 has that and a State pledge.
PreK-5 has both of those plus a brief pledge-ish to the district/town itself.

King PreK-8 is a neighborhood school of around 300 students on Pittsburgh’s North Side, close to the Children’s Museum, surrounded by Allegheny Commons Park. WESA's Susan Scott Peterson was there for the first day of school this fall, and returned recently to see how the year was progressing.
At Pittsburgh King PreK-8, staff give students extra support as holidays approach
Two months into the school year, students learn clarinet, parade in costume and write in journals. Staff cope with long days and prepare for student stress as the holidays approach.

Today was Book Character parade, so everyone not only dresses up as a favorite book character, but parents are encouraged to come watch.

Which is great, except that k-5 dropoff is 7:30 and PreK is at 8.

And the parade is at like 8:20, so there was no fucking room to drop Kid2 off when we came back

I’m so very excited for this book! PreK-grade 2 educators everywhere will want a copy. You will thank me for the recommendation. I know you will. Cause navigating friendships when you are 4-8 years old is TRICKY at the best of times. 💕 I’m proud to say I’ve met the author in person. 📕
COVER REVEAL!

Coming in May and available for pre-order.

Today in PreK:
A 4 year-old came to me and said, “Ms. Jennifer, C said Santa’s not real! Santa’s real, isn’t he?” I was not prepared for this conversation before 8 a.m. 🥺

The families bringing the complaint are enrolled at Manchester PreK-8, Miller African-Centered Academy in the Hill District and Woolslair PreK-5 in Bloomfield. All three schools are slated to close in June 2027 under the sweeping facilities plan city school board members approved this spring.

my kids’ school is prek- 7, then high school is 8-12 here. I went to a preK-12 school so a graduation halfway through feels so laughable to me 😂

Ben Shuldiner was supposed to take his oath of office and officially start work on Monday. Instead, he spent the weekend responding to the shooting deaths of two teenage boys killed at a bus stop near South Shore PreK-8 and Rainier Beach High School on Friday afternoon.
‘Mourn today, act tomorrow.’ New Seattle Schools superintendent emphasizes safety following fatal shooting near South Shore
It’s safe to say Ben Shuldiner’s first day as superintendent of Seattle Public Schools wasn’t what he’d expected.
