[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was planning to enter the LAMB lottery twice for PK3. DS is a September birthday and I thought that I would enter him for the year he qualified first (2015), and as a 'redshirt' candidate to enter PK3 late (2016). My School DC app allows you to hold your child back so I thought the LAMB lottery would allow you to do so as well. No proof of that.

But perhaps that is what people meant by 'entering twice'?

We ended up getting into a school that we really liked during the first lottery round and did not apply again anywhere. However, I still wish that I had held him back a year given current school struggles.... [/quote]

I don't think MSDC allows you to redshirt your kid anymore. It defaults you to the grade that corresponds you to their age.[/quote]

I held back my second grader on MSDC this year. It did not default to the grade based on his age. [/quote]

It works differently for ECE than for 
later grades. You may also run into enrollment problems. Depends on the principal. They have to agree with the decision for a child to repeat a grade. [/quote]
