Wow. I’m sorry that’s the impression you had but what a reason not to enroll.

DP. All else being equal? That'd be a good enough reason for me to strike them from my list, too. Customer service goes a long way.

+1. I mean of all the families at the school, you would think they would prioritize new families who need to enroll and would have the most questions about logistics and general stuff.

How can all else really be equal?

And from what I’ve seen they are reaching out to and thinking a lot about how to engage with new parents virtually. Email is the best way for now.

LOL! They don’t care about SD, too busy with Kingsbury.

Well OP, take consolation. It’s not just new families. There is a recent LAMB thread where the majority of current parents were very unhappy because distance learning in the spring was so bad. One family thought all they cared about was getting Kingsbury going.

Me too. By the time an actual person reached out, I was getting notices from MSDC that my offer expired. Okee doke.

This is the enrollment forms for DCPS schools. Do charters use the same? I don’t see any charters on the drop down.

Yes. Charters use the same forms.

So when the drop down has only DCPS schools, what are you supposed to select?

No, the recent thread had some posters in that thread that were unhappy with how distance learning went, but you can no way extrapolate that a majority of current parents are unhappy. I know I'm not the only one that thinks the school is doing the best the can all things considered. I'm sorry to hear that the PP was frustrated with the enrollment process, there is certainly a lot in flux for the school this summer, but yes, the school should be responsive to new parents.

I’m a LAMB parent and I’m happy.

Everything everywhere is a disaster right now, OP. Email the admissions email address and they’ll get back to you.

+1 to hardly a majority were unhappy. We also were not unhappy and appreciate how the school adjusted their learning as the Spring went on and became more rigorous as time went on.

+2. We were also not unhappy. Yes, everything is a disaster. Yes, LAMB has never excelled at reaching out to new parents. Yes, the pandemic has not made that better. But we have been there for many years (meaning we have kids not in primary) and were not unhappy with DL. It took a couple tries to find a good way to make it work, but by the end of April it was good - I would say we got 6 good weeks of learning new content. In terms of reach out, I would strongly suggest using the email address.

Accept by tonight according to Lamb or My School? Can you call my school?

If you let the MSDC deadline expire, you will get a message from a generic mailbox at LAMB that you're offer is about to expire. There will be no contact info for an actual person in that message.
