[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the previous principal allowed parents to do it at Lafayette so all the preschools told their parents it was fine? In many cases two kids in the same family? If they were going to change longstanding school policy they should have given people a years heads up at a minimum.

Also [b]the law says to go to first grade to you have to be six on the first day of school[/b] and that’s in direct conflict with the cutoff for anyone born in September. [/quote]

do you have a cite for that?

Not even sure how a new principal would know that private preschools were telling parents that their kids would be allowed to redshirt. Surely it's easier for the parents to identify the new principal (especially if they already had kids enrolled there) than for the new principal to identify the parents who thought they would be allowed to break the rules? [/quote]

[b]The mom who keeps posting that parents "should have been TOLD" is so deeply entitled. [/b]It's so informative about the kind of parent at Lafayette . "We should be allowed to break the rules whenever we want, and if we aren't we should somehow be proactively identified, out of a community of hundreds and hundreds of parents, and told way in advance. Being told onc we try to break the rules is offensive and WRONG."[/quote]

If what she now wishes she did was enroll her kid in PK4 at Lafayette rather than private school for the 2024-5 school year, she would have had to enter the lottery in early 2024. I don't think Principal Prall had even been hired by then. So who would have told her, and when?[/quote]

If I'm thinking about the dates right, she couldn't have enrolled her kid at Lafayette for PK4 at Lafayette for the 2024-25 school year -- that's when her kid should have been enrolled in kindergarten under DC law.  Incidentally, her kid had a kindergarten spot by right (assuming in bound) and wouldn't have had to lottery.[/quote]
