Kat Bryan replied to kimpsbl1's discussion 'Florida graduation rate plunges under new federal rules'
I think not counting the students who graduate with a special diploma is absolutely wrong. These kids have performed to the best of their ability. We are not talking children with mild learning disabilities. We are talking about Down's…
Kat Bryan replied to Sheileen Rivera's discussion '3rd Grade FCAT - what options do I have if my son fail???'
First off it is not all of third grade. It is a reading summer school. There is no charge for this summer school. This is not a Polk County mandate. It is a Florida State Law that they must pass the reading portion of FCAT in third grade to pass.…
Kat Bryan replied to DisneyMamaTo2's discussion 'McKay Scholarship?'
Also, If you live in Polk County I don't believe you can use it out of county even if it is a private school. What about DSA or Ridgeview for public schools (yes they are charter) or for private the closest in county to you are North Ridge, and…
Kat Bryan replied to kimpsbl2's discussion 'What are your kindergarteners doing in math?'
If they learn their math facts (flash cards) it makes the word problems easier and they are solved faster. I did want to add something ...you want to bake cookies and a math lesson? Combine the two... cooking is one of the best ways to teach…
Kat Bryan replied to Jmarr's discussion 'Help! 3rd Grade Math is hard!'
This is all about getting them ready for the FCAT in 5th grade. The math portion expects them to be able to reason and explain their answers. This is just the beginning of these kind of assignments. It will get more complicated over the next few…

Call Theater Winter Haven. I know they have summer classes but not sure about this time of the year.
Kat Bryan replied to Shawn Arnold's discussion 'High School Football Cheerleader Collapses, Dies'
I am pretty sure that a physical is required for cheerleaders. The school system wouldn't risk the liability.
Kat Bryan replied to Heather's discussion 'State won't inspect Legoland rides..'
Krista,
I have a question for you. Do or will you take your children to Disney, Universal or Sea World? They all abide by the same law. As a matter of fact it is because of Disney that the law exists. All of the same inspection or lack…
Kat Bryan replied to kimpsbl2's discussion 'Field trips'
Unless it has changed in 3 years Title 1 schools are not required to take field trips. The money may be used for a field trip but no requirement is in place. Some schools do not take any field trips until after FCAT. Some schools don't do…
Kat Bryan replied to kimpsbl2's discussion 'Field trips'
You are forgetting the cost of fuel for the buses, overtime for the drivers, and also if a child cannot afford the cost the school cannot leave them behind. They must find a way for all children to go unless a parent doesn't give…
Kat Bryan replied to jade's discussion 'Moving from England to Providence, Davenport'
You're elementary child will probably be zoned for Loughman Oaks. Your other child is probably zoned for Boone Middle School. There are however several magnet, and charter schools in the area which can be explained better by the school…
Kat Bryan replied to DisneyMamaTo2's discussion 'Is there a district policy about dropping off Kdg students with no visible adult?'
That policy does apply to ESE buses not to regular buses.
Kat Bryan replied to Marika's discussion 'Best neighborhoods in winter haven?'
I agree with Shawn's husband. Those are the best areas, West Lake Hamilton can be pricey but is more rural. Dundee if you are looking for a small town. Only 7 miles from WH. Cypress Woods area not bad but prone to flooding during rainy…
Kat Bryan replied to DisneyMamaTo2's discussion 'Speaking of orientations....'
Yes I did read your other post. Part of the problem lies with budget cuts. They are not keeping secrets. The school you are attending has such a turnover in students that the class lists are not correct until the last minute and then changes will be…
Kat Bryan replied to DisneyMamaTo2's discussion 'Speaking of orientations....'
I read this a few days ago and the more I thought about it the angrier I got. Most schools do there best to help parents. For years orientation was mornings from 9-12. Then parents complained. Schools then added evening hours. Part of the reason for…
Kat Bryan replied to Shawn Arnold's discussion 'Magnet School Admission Rules Draw Request For Change'
Hurricanes do not come on suddenly. You have many days to prepare and if one is heading this way schools will be closed.
