[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]but ...... preference only works if there is a spot.  You may initially wind up on a waitlist.  [/quote]

So, its possible my younger child could get a spot and my older child could get waitlisted, and it boils down to if there aren't any seats, there just aren't any seats, right? I would think there isn't a lot of movement in kindergarten so those seats are hard to get.[/quote]

Yes, but your older child could get in the following year as a sibling.  Only you can decide if it's worth the wait.[/quote]

Ok, got it- so the initial year, there very likely wouldn't be a seat for kindergarten in the same school (assuming we got a preschool seat anyway- I know that is tough too) but if we had an alternate option for that year for the kindergartner, then the preference (for the older sib) kicks in the next school year.

Is this in writing anywhere? I think in the past I've seen info on sibling preference but always assumed it was for the younger. And I see how it works somewhat differently for an older child when the younger gets in.

Thanks everyone. This is helpful.[/quote]

[b]There is a good FAQ on myschooldc.org which covers preferences but won't have every scenario detailed. You should also call the MySchoolDC staff there and talk it through. They are really good and helpful -- and more reliable that what you will learn here.[/b] [/quote]

Thank you- I didn't realize there were people there who would be available for questions. This will all send me in the right direction. I appreciate it.[/quote]
