Swami says you will get a spot and decide to not take it, and will play for language again next year.

Swami says because you want Montessori you will begrudgingly be at Langdon. You will represent the school at EdFest. You will call SSMA weekly up until count day.

No, you can't enter without Montessori experience at Langdon.

New Stokes will be approved and will actually be east of the river. They will use political lean to get a surplused DCPS building.

The MV expansion will be postponed, revisited in 6 months, and eventually approved for SY 18-19

I would totallly go EOTP if it were near the highway.

Is nt that kind of a short timeline for MV?

NP - that's the timeline for opening they are on now. Swami thinks the PCSB will want some changes or have some concerns that will be resolved.

If they don't expand for 18-19 they would prob be unable to get the Potomac Lighthouse bldg. They need additional students to afford it.

The current Lafayette 3rd grade is the smallest grade in the school, with only 4 sections. If they get enough IB enrollment to push them to 5 sections (like every other grade), then your chances are good.

Janney 3rd grade is small as well. Call after the end of the school year to find out more. You will not get called until the 1st week of school.

Swami thinks that you, personally, will be the ultimate test on whether LAMB intends to allow in order grades or add additional PK3 or PK4 children to reach their ceiling in the primary environment. So swami sits with you, thinking 65% no, 35% yes.

Swami says make photocopies of your enrollment paperwork because you will cycle through a few of your 11-16, ultimately ending up at Burroughs. You will join the enthusiastic parent brigade that hopes SSMA adds another primary classroom ASAP.
