[quote=Anonymous]Hello neighbor! Yes, your understanding of both questions is correct. You can rank Langley lowest and still have the Early Action if you don't match with anything you ranked higher. You do not need to lottery at all to attend your inbounds starting in K. You just fill out the enrollment paper and you have the right to enroll at your inbound at any time of year.

I do know that Langley will work with you on early pickups for the littlest kids. And if you review the DCPS schedule you will see that there are various half days and off days. I hope that provides some comfort should you not match with a Montessori.

The one thing you cannot do is come to your inbound seeking a PK3 or PK4 spot after you've matched somewhere else. The Early Action rule no longer applies once you've matched (not enrolled, *matched*) elsewhere. So if you should, for example, enroll at Shining Stars and then decide it's a hot disorganized mess that's failing financially and has atrocious test scores, you wouldn't be entitled to a spot at Langley just because you're in-bounds. You'd have to join the post-lottery wait-list where you would get an in-boundary preference, but it isn't a guarantee.[/quote]
