Anybody have kindergartener starting at Key?

If so, I have questions for you?

I put transfer paperwork and called & was told that everyone got in, but I never got a letter or anything. Did you?
Do you have any misgivings about Key vs. your neighborhood school (my neighbors rave about my neighborhood school)?
What are they do for orientation?
What do you think about 20 minute lunch (some e-schools in Arlington get longer)?

We have an older child at Claremont. If they said everyone got in, you'll eventually get a letter but consider yourself in. As for Key vs. neighborhood school, people who apply to the immersion schools (or ATS or Montessori) do so because they value the nature of the education that their kids will get -- in the case of Key, the opportunity to learn a second language through immersion. Our neighborhood school in N Arlington is also considered oh-so-wonderful but we're glad our DC isn't there.
