Or at end of day like the privates usually do.

Agree, because whatsapp gets annoying as hell with the inquisitions.

PK3 - got into Creative Minds. #3 on our list although I was hoping for an immersion school. Bethune was #4 and it’s marked as “Not waitlisted”. It’s more of a drive but Spanish immersion. Curious if Bethune 16th St (moving to Takoma) might be a better fit? I couldn’t decide on application day where to place these two but understood CMI is harder to get into than Bethune.

PK3, no sibling preference :

1. DCB #33
2. Stokes Brookland #25
3. Global Citizens: Match

We put it for a lottery slot when we weren’t sure if we’d have to move to DC because of the Trump administration. Well, turns out we don’t, and my husband is more likely to get laid off.

I can’t believe we got fairly lucky! Hopefully that luck applies to my local PK3 program too…best of luck to your waitlist movement! 🍀

It's worth getting on the post-lottery list… what number were you on your first two?

My kid WL at BASIS and has a good chance of getting in. She is artsy, academically average and a bit shy. BASIS doesn’t seem like the best fit but she got crap number for Latin. We could wait at our current school for another year and try for Truth. Really don’t want to move out of the city and bummed at the lack of choices.

Got into one of the DCPS bilingual programs, any idea when the Spanish dominance test is or how we’ll be contacted about it?

Depends on the school. What school?

PK4 Oyster (Spanish Track) WL#47. What are the chances of getting in? DD will most likely pass the assessment since shes is a native Spanish speaker.

I would wait. BASIS won’t be a good fit.

Never heard of this school (I’m on the Hill) but just looked up the historical data and I’d say chances aren’t good. You never know year to year, but yeah…
