[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for these suggestions. My first grader is #20 on the waitlist for E.W. Stokes’ French program.

I didn’t realize my preschooler would jump to top of waitlist once we register in-boundary somewhere. That’s good to know.

I’ve been looking at Powell, Marie Reed, Oyster-Adams, Bancroft and Cleveland. Either French or Spanish would be fine. My kids studied both in a preschool immersion program here in Chicago. Hoping to help them maintain it if at all possible.[/quote]

You gotta understand that Stokes is a charter and, as such, does not have a boundary. So your kid will not have in-boundary status there ever. It's not a thing.

When you move IB for a DCPS school, you should register your older child right away-- literally the same day you can prove residency. Then your PK4 will jump to almost the top of the list as an in-boundary student who is a sibling of an enrolled student. Even so, might not get in, those schools don't have enough preschool capacity to meet demand.

Waitlists move here through October, so it's possible your PK4 might get in after the start of the school year.[/quote]
