[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In DCPS K is compulsory, so if he has not done it they can not automatically send him to first grade. It may be harder to have him repeat K, as the school would have to sign off, so doing private PreK twice or PreK and a junior Kindergarten at a private school would be the way to go. [/quote]

Not OP--but, I don't follow.
I think OP wants to wait a year to send her kid to K.  I don't think she wants to go to First Grade after a year in Pre-K.[/quote]

Right--that is what the PP is saying. In DCPS (apparently), kindergarten is compulsory, so if a child has not completed kindergarten, he cannot go to first grade (even if his parents want him to). So if OP keeps her child in preschool for an additional year, he has no choice but to go into kindergarten in DCPS.

In contrast, in many NY districts, including in NYC, if you keep your child in preschool the extra year and then apply, the child must go into first grade if he is first grade aged, even if he has not been to kindergarten yet. Two pretty opposite policies (and both a bit extreme, IMO!)[/quote]
