[quote=Anonymous]We are in the same situation but with a different language at a different school. My kid will be entering 2nd grade and is fluent in the target language so I want them to continue with the language.

First off you can't register for the program until you are physically in the county unless you are military (we are govt but not military so that's frustrating). Even though my kid is fluent, the principal said the lottery from first grade goes through first semester of second grade so anyone still on that list would get preference for a seat. Then, starting second semester of second grade, that waitlist goes away and it's principal discretion but it's all highly dependent on if there's any seats open. And the student would have to be evaluated of course at that point. The principal said typically students are more likely to get a seat in grades 3-6 as the grades progress due to kids dropping out or moving.

As others have suggested, I am planning to move to a home zoned for the school we want, express my interest in getting my kid enrolled or on the wait-list, then wait it out. This process described to me sounds slightly different than what someone else posted for their school, so I'd advise to email the school- the principal's email should be listed on each the bottom of each school website.
