[quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

We are at another DCPS elementary (not bilingual), but interested in moving to Mt. Pleasant. Our older kid would be entering 3rd grade. She goes to Spanish school on Saturday mornings and also has been to Spanish immersion summer camps in the past, so she's very familiar with the language and loves learning it. But she's not fluent by any stretch. She's also ahead of grade level in both reading and math, so she can afford to struggle for a year or so without falling behind. In other words, I'm fairly confident that she could thrive at Bancroft, and for what it's worth, she is begging us to send her.

Does anyone have insight as to whether the school would be willing to consider her? Their website says they don't recommend kids enroll after 1st grade, but I'm wondering if that's just a loose guideline or a strict rule?

Also, is Tubman the non-Spanish by-rights school for the neighborhood?

I'm going to try to call the school on Monday but wanted to gain any other intel here as well.

Thanks! [/quote]
