[quote=Anonymous]In terms of how much to say to an early elementary kid, it really depends on your particular kid and their understanding of time. I have a kid who would have gotten really upset that I hadn't told them first thing, and didn't make sure they were told, and another more happy-go-lucky kid who would probably just forget I even told them and not need to know months in advance. With the MS lottery, both kids were very much involved in the process, though of course parents made the final decisions. We actually got into MS 1, toured it, enrolled, then got off the waitlist at MS 2, ditto, and then got off the waitlist at MS 3, which is where we ended up staying. I did hear that end of fourth grade was tough at our Hill elementary, for those kids who weren't leaving (whether because of bad lottery or parents' choice). It's a good idea to warn your kids that some other kids in their grade will not be told their results or didn't get a spot right off the bat.[/quote]
