[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused by the PK3 data.  If Miner has early action , why are there any IB PK3 students on the waitlist?[/quote]

They may need to add a class to accommodate them, or see whether everyone accepts. The situation could have already changed -- these are a month old at this point. [/quote]

But if the data is of March 31, why were those IB students not admitted under the guarantee?[/quote]

Call the principal. [/quote]

You have to list it as your first choice to be eligible for early action.  If you list it as your 2nd or lower choice, you're not guaranteed a seat - which seems fair to me.[/quote]

Whaa?  No, definitely not true.[/quote]
+1 not true. You rank in the order you prefer and you are guaranteed the spot[/quote]

From the website -

To secure their seat at your school, in-boundary families must submit a My School DC lottery application by the Wednesday, March 1st, 2017 11:59 pm deadline. Families will only receive the Early Action PK3 or PK4 match for a school if they are not matched to any other school. [b]Therefore families are encouraged to rank their Early Action Pre-Kindergarten school as their first choice on the application.[/b]

If the child is matched with the in-boundary school, the family must enroll the student by the lottery enrollment deadline of May 1, 2017.

Note, if a student is matched with a PK3 or PK4 seat at a school ranked higher than the in-boundary school, the student will no longer qualify for “early action” access at the in-boundary school.[/quote]

I think the earlier PPs are misreading the bolded info as a directive (which, honestly, is probably what DCPS wants you to do). This was the exact same rule in place in previous years. You just have to list your EA IB as one of the top 12 and, if you match there, you're guaranteed it. This just highlights that the guarantee only applies if 1) you list it as one of the 12 and 2) you don't get in somewhere you rank higher. That's it.[/quote]
