Didn't enroll off the waitlist. Will I really lose my slot?

OP, I hope you aren't really surprised by this. You are one month late. Just because your circumstances changed, it doesn't mean that they can re-open the slot for you. The registration pending was clearly just a delay in information updating. You had a known expiration date.

OP here. I'm not surprised, but I don't understand why the attitude in your response. I am unfamiliar with the process and came here with a simple question for the masses.

I hope your children do not get in. It would be unfair to all the others who have been patiently waiting and willing to respond. You are over a month late.

Is there a low profile Montessori in DC I didn't know about? To me all of the public Montessoris are pretty amazing schools!

I'm calling troll for the first time on DCUM. OP asks about whether an expired deadline from 6 weeks ago is something she could worry about, and whether she can enroll at two schools at once. Really?

Possibly. Also Burrville and Nalle.

Your child was in private so you could have still enrolled and then withdrew when school started.
