[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks, but I don't see what is required for the application. Is it just providing Sally's name and home address? I'm assuming it's that simple.
Also, my understanding for some of the middle/HS option schools is that a certain number of spaces are open to each neighborhood school, i.e., for HB Woodland, there are 2 slots for discovery, 2 for Nottingham, and so on, so only 2 students from Discovery get accepted into the program (or are accepted from the lottery), and then 2 students from Nottingham get accepted, etc. Is this the same for the elementary option?[/quote]

Yes they are going to want the kids name, address, birthdate, grade entering- all of that. It is separate from school registration which you have to do at your home school or wait until after the lottery to register.

No, there are no allotments for option elementary schools. There are preferences for siblings/VPI students, Montessori pulls from their satellite classrooms and Immersion has separate lotteries for English and Spanish speaking students.[/quote]

I would note that you don’t actually have to be a resident of Arlington yet to enter the lottery.[/quote]

This is correct.[/quote]
