Dec 2014 birthday means turning three in Dec 2017. That means unable to enter PK3 in 2017-2018 school year because not three by Sept 30, 2017. So, eligible the following year, 2018-2019. OP's child will be 3.75 at start of the 2018-2019 year.

NP. I kind of agree with the PP. Why do we run ourselves down along gender lines? And for no reason? "Mommies" aren't dumb, so let's not joke that they are.

That said, I'm good at math but also occasionally get confused with dates, too, OP!

I'm sorry, but sleep-deprived, stressed out mommy brain is a real thing. It gives me comfort to know that I am not alone.

And post partum hormones can cause brain fog, too. Sorry, sex differences aren't just social constructs.

+1.
Also, I find those fall birthdays & the system really confusing, as you watch little kids who are barely 3 years old enter pk3 and your giant kid has to wait til he's nearly 4. I know it's the way the system is and I'm fine with that -- in fact, waiting til nearly 4 turned out to be ideal for my child -- but I kept having to recheck too, as in, "can this REALLY be right?"

Thanks, OP here, that's part of my uncertaintly, I think. Also I am bad at math, which I will not blame entirely on motherhood as it was a pre-existing condition. I will claim that parenthood has exacerbated it, despite some PPs protests.

The year turning on fall CAN be confusing and sometimes counterintuitive. Sleep deprivation makes it worse. Also HATE the term mommy brain or anything else that insults our entire gender. Why do we have to do that crap to ourselves?

Yea, it's all a bit patronizing.
