[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MV just started re-enrollment a week or two ago. I don't think there are going to be that many non-sibling spots. I know of only one family leaving so far although there might be more who knows. The family I know is moving out of state and have rising fourth graders.

Wow, you know all 550 students enough to know their personal matters? You must be a busy person.[/quote]

Snark alert!

I don't know all 550 students obviously, but I do know that at the first all parent meeting this year there were less than three new parents. Things are going quite well at MV this year for most of us so as I said above "I don't THINK there are going to be that many non-sibling spots."

I'm really busy so I'll sign off now.

I asked the question earlier that you didn't answer (am not the poster you replied to). A legitimate question... are there really that many families that have a younger child that there won't be many pk-3 spots? I won't waste this as my top pick if this is the case.[/quote]

There will not be any pk-3 spots.  I would bet a lot on it.  I too am a part of the community.  I also only know of this one family that is moving.  I'm sure that there are 1 or 2 others that may go, but honestly, the retention rate is extraordinary high, and my understanding is that this been a very good and stable year for most.

There are very few pk-3 spots to begin with because of the graduated model.  There are 1/3 the number of pk-3 students as k students (I highly recommend applying in pk-4 or k if you are interested).  There are many two year olds around who will clearly take most of the spots.  Also, there is preference for employees of the school and of DCI.  There is no way that the school will open another classroom, as we are finally at full capacity in all grades with no moves to add additional space, at least not for next year.  I would be absolutely shocked if even 1 single kid from completely outside got into pk-3.  But, I will repeat, the chances are - and should continue to be - much, much better for pk-4 and k.[/quote]
