[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is going to happen to help you make up your mind after May 1 that can't happen before May 1? Sometimes having infinite time to make a decision isn't possible (or even necessarily desirable).

I want to see how the school year shakes out for my oldest, friendship-wise and academic-wise. I also want them to be involved in the decision (not the decision maker, but part of the conversation), and think it will be easier to do this once the school year is wrapped. We've discussed a lot as a family but kiddo goes back and forth on whether they want to change, which at 2nd grade, is influenced by how good of a school day/week they've had. Finally, our current school just opened a new building for pre-K and kinder TODAY, and it comes with a lot of pros and cons (great new space, much more complicated logistics), and I want to see how it plays out over the next few months.

NP. All of these are reasons to wait until May 1st. None of them are reasons to wait longer. Lottery your youngest now, and make the call in April. You’ll have months more info on the new building and your kids social/academic place (which won’t change much in the last six weeks of school) and candidly, your 2nd grader is not going to be old enough to be truly involved in this decision for next school year.
