If you don't list Van Ness as your first option, you lose your guaranteed PS3 PK4 access.  This was clearly conveyed at the school meeting.  Basically, if you don't list Van Ness as your first option and you lottery into another school that you place higher than Van Ness, you will lose your guaranteed PS3/PK4 access to Van Ness.[/quote]

Your first sentence is not quite accurate.

If you put Van Ness anywhere on your Round 1 lottery application, you will either get into Van Ness or a school you ranked higher. You can rank VN #12 and feel confident your kid can attend.  Obviously, parents should rank in terms of preference and if they only have 3 schools they prefer over VN, rank it 4th (and if VN is their first choice, rank it first!).

You're right that if you didn't list VN at all and tried to get in during Round 2, you wouldn't be guaranteed a spot for PreK.  However, even in that situation you'd get a higher spot on the waitlist than any OOB kids without preference who were waitlisted, essentially jumping that line.
