[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Earlier today, I received an email from My School DC with an offer off the wait list for a school I am very interested in. The email said that I have until next week to accept or decline. About an hour later, I received a call from the school asking me to decide by tomorrow. We have been attending a school where we are happy, but obviously have a few concerns, for 3 years now, so disrupting my child's world and way of learning isn't something I take lightly and I want to make the right choice.

Any suggestions or experience with extending a deadline from a school? It may very well be within my right to wait to decide next week, but if the school isn't open to me coming in for a visit once school is in session, it won't really help me with my decision and will just upset the administration. I completely understand wanting to have the spot filled by the first day of school, but having to decide so quickly really just means we have to decline since we won't be able to make a truly informed choice. Help![/quote]

The concerns were significant enough that you put your child in the lottery.  I see if the school can connect you with parents for your child's grade (or through the PTA) to answer questions you have.[/quote]
