[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure what to list my son as for PK3. He is bilingual. Has full immersion Daycare since he was a baby and spends at least one day/night a week with my mother who only speaks Spanish. My DH only speaks English and I switch between both but mainly use English when DH is around. DS prefers English and will default to that but can and does speak Spanish with me and my mom and at Daycare. I am torn because he does speak Spanish and I know he has a much better chance to get into language immersion schools if we list him as Spanish dominant, but he does default to and prefer English. I’ve searched through the DCpS handbook and site and cant find much guidance other than that they will evaluate him. Does anyone have experience with this? I want to do things the right way but I also don’t want to put him at a disadvantage just because I’m hung up on the word “dominant.” Advice/experience would be greatly appreciated![/quote]
