| It's free childcare. It saves you $20K per year. Of course everybody wants it. |

| Lots of reports from fellow Petworth families of folks being waitlisted at IBs this year. The Petworth baby boom is in full effect. |

| You picked 12 popular choices or you got a terrible number. Put yourself on more waitlists, i.e. any school you can make work with your commute. By September, you will probably be in somewhere |

can you pick up other schools you haven't listed for the lottery in post-lottery phase? |

The first one will likely be matched with Appletree Columbia Heights in May- they generally go pretty deep through their waiting list. Then the sibling will be pulled to the top of the list and probably be matched a few weeks later. Ross was a wasted spot, FYI- they have in-bounds who never get in. Bancroft was probably also a wasted spot for the same reason, but not quite as sure how many OOB kids have gotten in for PK3 in the past. |

| You'll likely get off the waitlist at Appletree before long. |

You listed a lot of schools that don't take oob kids at PK3. Why? |

| You realize school is guaranteed until K, right? You didn’t give yourself any safeties. Stay at preschool and shoot for your IB next year like most of Ward 3. |
