[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please post this on the Google Group. It would be great for teachers in the school (not anonymous strangers) to hear your praise.

-- Fellow IT parent who was also impressed by the showcase which was as authentic a learning experience as they come - no canned holiday pageants here![/quote]

As one of those 'anonymous strangers,' who is planning on entering the lottery for Pre-K next year, it's helpful to read opinions and feedback about the school here on DCUM, so please also continue posting here.

Would someone please explain what OP was referring to regarding the 'museum.' Was this Learning Showcase hosted at a museum?[/quote]

PP here.  I should have said "(not JUST anonymous strangers)".

Entering PK with the current PS3 next fall?  Good luck![/quote]

Since they're changing locations next year, some current PS3 families may decide to drop out. The PP, and anyone else who is interested in the school should definitely apply, because you never know how many spots are going to open up.[/quote]

Sure. And they and all the other families who don't like their current PS3, never enrolled children in a PS3, children who don't get into their inbounds JKLMO PK4 will be competing for some limited number of spots. There will never be another 44 spots for that age group. I think there will likely be 10 and not more. I know more families holding onto their spot with both hands than families saying they'll leave. [/quote]

10 is still more than 0. Not sure I understand why you seem to be so negative about the PP (or anyone else) applying. No one said anything about wanting 44 spots to open up. She's just hopeful that 1 will. The fact that she's hedging her bets, even with extremely low odds, is a testament to the excellent reputation of the school. She has nothing to lose, and everything to gain, and I would think that, as parents who love the school, we should be encouraging that interest.[/quote]

I can see why you were thinking I was being negative.  Email doesn't convey tone.  My "good luck" was meant with sincerity - it will be very tough to get in to the current PS3 class, given the overwhelmingly positive experience the children are having at school this year, in addition to interest from families who fit the categories I described above.  If there are 10 spots, that is better than nothing, but it will still be harder than this past year.  Therefore, a "good luck"![/quote]
