[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more thing, can I just pick a school? Is it geographical or regional, by estate? I am not sure how you Americans do you placement system.
Thank you again.

I love Newcastle, not the Soccer Team, but the CITY!  I wish we could trade, you can take my house and I'll take yours.  
It is geographic.  So if you live in the State of Virginia, you will also live in a county.  Fairfax County for example (we have no counts) runs all the public schools.  I know your system is different.
We have preschool, then Elementary, Middle School and High School.  High School is like your Comprehensive School. Each School has a geographic boundary, and students are  required to go to the school in the boundary.  There is no picking.  Now you can pick a school for a special program.  For example some schools have foreign language emersion programs.  They may be outside of your geographic boundary, so it is a lottery to get into the program.   Based on where you find housing, unless you choose to go the private route, that is the area you will have your kids attend.
SACC is Student Age After Care.  Run by the county.  They have qualified after and before care providers essentially watch your children before and after school to accommodate your work schedule.  There are limits, I think it is 6:15PM.  There is a charge for being late.  Does this help.
Good Luck and God Bless.[/quote]
