[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lottery works like all of the other charters. No special preferences are given to SN children. However, Bridges is still pretty easy to get into--while it's been around for 7 years, this was the first year for kindergarten.

Since this was the first expansion year, I think a lot of people didn't understand the long term potential of Bridges. Plus, now that the permanent home will most likely be at Sharpe Health (once it closes in 2014), a lot of CH/Petworth families will be clamouring for a slot. This may be the last "easy" lottery for Bridges.[/quote]

We left Bridges, because while we like the inclusion model, our G&T daughter just wasn't challenged enough and we lucked into a top charter for K. That's one of the drawbacks of inclusion with a high percentage of SN students like Bridges, it's hard to really do differentiated instruction in a way that challenges high achieving students. Love love love the administration though. Wonderful people. [/quote]
