Those coming off the wait list, did you recieve a call or a letter? Do you also get 2 weeks to decide? Anyone contacted by Potomac elementary school?

We found out yesterday that we got into Maryvale French. We were #14 on the wait list. We are #7 on the wait list at Potomac, but haven't heard anything from them. They give you only 5 calendar days to decide.

Did they call you?

They both called and emailed.

That is actually a lie. They only give you 5 days.. I don't know what type of trickery that you are trying to us to get people to lose their spots.

It was a question, not a lie. Slow your roll. People who got the initial invitation had 2 weeks to decide which was up last Friday. Folks getting calls from the wait list have 5 calendar days. No one is trying to trick anyone.

Yes, it was a question. I like your response. This is exactly why I can only stomach DCUM about once per month.

They do not combine anymore. There are about 22 5th graders in CI at CGES this year. So smaller than the standard 5th grade class (the others have 28-29), but far more than would be combined with the 4th grade CI.

My Son and Daughter are at Burnt Mills and we have been very happy with the program.

Burnt Mills is Full Immersion in K and 1st and the 2nd grade teacher has always squeezed in as much spanish as possible. The new principal Dr. Ashton is amazing. They are even starting a STEM focus program for 3-5 grades for Spanish Immersion students.

I was not waitlisted. But I know they are past #9 as of last week a friend accepted the spot , so maybe by now it could be in the lower 2 digits.
