our district has the same set up. two days in and three days at home. it seems to be the elementary schools that are the only ones to consider the 5 days. our daughter is going into kindergarten, so i don't know how the three days at home is going to work. we're 90% we'll have to send her private. we do want her in school more than 2 days, but we both work full time, and have no idea who care will work out otherwise. it's actually cheaper to send her to a 5 day a week private school than it is back to daycare, (they're starting a kindergarten program to help parents out).
