22205 (or at least parts of it) in N. Arlington is a feeder into Yorktown. We're in the Glebe-Swanson-Yorktown stack. Glebe is more diverse (ethnically and socioeconomically I believe) than most other N. Arlington elementaries, and also very good.

how far in advance do they typically know of openings? I won't need anything until November.

I am due this summer and planning to go back after three months of maternity leave. I just switched to a new job that I really like, so it would be a shame not to continue with it. I've been looking for this type of job for a really long time and I'm in a good place in my career, finally, so I don't want to give that up.

Just as important though, is that we can't afford for me to stay home. My husband makes a lot more than me but we just bought a house and put on an addition in the last few years, so the mortgages are too much for him to handle alone.
