[quote=Anonymous]At this point, the slots are typically held by families that have already gone through the process of registering.  There's usually waves in May when families first get accepted, than in June when there's the spaces to fill by families who are accepted by don't register/accept within a month or pull out because they heard from private school acceptances.  Then it's usually August before additional movement when some families decide in the end to stay with a preschool or get off the private wait list.  Going to visit the staff in person can help with getting some intel if you get them at a good time and help with building relationships - or if you're good at that on the phone - and just try to say you know they can't give out too much info but try to get them chatty.  Can ask what they think might happen based on last year (like how many IB kids came off the wait list last year or the impact of adding the 5th class section).  There's much less movement off the waitlists in general past few years.  NONE of the Ward 3 schools have been letting in OOB kids to the prek's in the past several years - and the class sizes are limited to 20, where in K and up, they go higher (have to accommodate every IB kids and most schools are expected by DCPS to still take in 10% OOB kids from K-5.)
