[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either fall of 2016 or fall of 2017 for the "big" three.  [/quote]

What does that mean?  Carson, Longfellow and Rocky Run are the three big TJ feeders, but of course they are already centers.  [/quote]

Cooper, Thoreau and I can't remember the third one on the list- further out west from the first two.  [/quote]

You probably mean Franklin.[/quote]

We have a 6th grader with Franklin base/ Carson Center, and have been told  by the  ES Carson will be an option for 2016-2017.  [/quote]

We were told the same thing about Longfellow as an option for 2016-17 too with Cooper as our base. I think they should stay true to that at this point. Finding out in Feb 2016 for the Fall is absurd.[/quote]

+100. Kids are scheduled to do MS visits in about 3 weeks, and register for classes shortly after that-- if Franklin was going to become a Center, they are out of time to make the change.  There has been zero info given to parents to suggest that Carson won't be an option (including no community meetings, etc), and teachers are saying that Franklin kids can go to Carson. We feel safe in making plans to send DC to Carson next year. Also, Franklin had less than 10 level IV kids last year (their first year) and about 20 this year. Seems safe to say they are  just not ready for the 150 plus AAP Level IV kids a grade that would transfer in. Personally, I think they will do Thoreau and Cooper first-- especially since there would need to be at least some rezoning and reassignment of teachers. Also, I had heard Cooper had started with community meetings, and Thoreau will have excess capacity after the renovation. Since my 6th grader is my youngest DC, it looks like we are just getting in under the wire. [/quote]
