[quote=Anonymous]I've been in touch with both the Brent registrar and My Schools DC (several times in fact) about this. Younger siblings lotterying for PK3 and PK4 of IB students currently at Brent as well as  IB students who will be joining in K or above will have equal standing in the lottery. For IB students joining in K or above, the older and younger siblings need to be enrolled as soon as possible and can't be quickly disenrolled.

The My Schools DC folks have said that their policy is to try to keep siblings together whenever possible. This applies to families joining a school as well as families already at the school.

Certainly with our situation, this only seems fair. Our oldest was waitlisted for PK3 and PK4. He will not be in the lottery for K since Brent is our IB school. So if his younger sibling had lesser status in the lottery, there is no chance of the younger being admitted or preschool even though we will just as much be at Brent as a family that got lucky two years ago and has had their kid there for the last two years. (Yes, yes, I know, preschool isn't a right! I'm not complaining.)

Anyway, to all, may the odds be ever in your favor!
