[quote=Anonymous]Listen all you new moms who didn't get into the school you wanted this year.: If you hang in there, you will get a spot at a great school by 1st grade (likely sooner if you're not PK3, and if you're willing to make a mid September move and hound the school at the beginning of the school year.). There's less movement after school starts under the new system but there is still movement, and the later into the school year it gets, the more leeway the school has with their waitlist.  If you are PK3 and you didn't get your first choice, your kid will be fine wherever they land.  It's super hard to mess up ABC/123.

My kids only remember the treehouse fom preschool, and then, only if I prompt them (BTW- DC went to a great PS that I payed good money for).  We moved to the District right before PK and landed in what I felt was a pretty sub par school.  As a matter of fact, DC begged me not to send her/him to school on a daily basis toward the end of the year. I was distraught and stuck. Still both DC and I survived (and again, DC barely remembers the school beyond not liking it very much). We switched schools every year until 1st grade. The 3rd switch was the charm.  DC is doing fantastic now as a rising 4th grader.

Bottom line...a bad lottery number is not the end of the world.  You and your kid will be fine.  Also, the new lottery system is light years better than the previous one, as others have noted.[/quote]
