[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that Arlington (unlike Fairfax) would hire additional staff to accommodate all the families who want Extended Day? As in, there might briefly be a waitlist but then everyone gets in before September....Not true?

Avoiding the SACC waiting list nightmare was one of the reasons we chose Arlington over McLean.[/quote]

I thought this as well.  However, why was everyone crashing the system to register if they were guaranteed a spot?  I don't quite understand that.

This is what the website says:

Is my child guaranteed a spot in Extended Day?
At most schools there each child will be enrolled, however there are waitlist each year at some schools.  Children may be placed on a waitlist if the Extended Day program at the particular school has reached capacity.

Why are there waitlists at some Extended Day programs?
Waitlists occasionally occur due to staff and/or space needs. If additional staff is needed, we hire additional staff. If more space is needed, we work with school administrators to identify additional space for use by Extended Day.[/quote]
