[quote=Anonymous]Hi there OP! We can definitely help you out with this. Here are some steps to follow.

1) Create the account on MySchoolDC and add your daughter to a lot of lists, just to get a place in line ASAP. You can use the map feature to identify schools that are near your work. Don't think too hard about it, just add them. If you're really working in Columbia Heights, add Raymond, Appletree, HD Cooke, and Tubman.

2) If you're actually working in the hospitals at Michigan Ave and North Capitol street (Children's, MedStar WHC, VA Medical Center) or at Howard, that opens up a different set of schools for you, where it may be easier to get a spot. Consider the neighborhoods of Bloomingdale, Eckington, Edgewood, and Brookland-- all are lovely and full of little kids, so it makes for an enjoyable lifestyle. So add some schools in that area that are easier to get into-- Langley, Noyes, Langdon, Bethune, Shining Stars Montessori, Bunker Hill, and Burroughs. Might as well add Cleveland and Mundo Verde too. Not all of these schools have great test scores, but they're all fine for preschool and K-- face the fact that as a late applicant, you're not going to be at a school with great test scores! But it'll be fine.

3) To actually register with a school once you get in, you'll need an address, so focus your attentions on that.[/quote]
