[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NEED to know more & I'm not reading the 500 page app.  Give me the deets PLEASE.

I have an older child at BASIS MS far away from my house.  LOVE IT.  I have a younger child at a local elementary near my house.  LOVE IT.

1.  Would they be at the same campus?  I know they don't know which campus, but the same or 2 different ones?

2. My younger child has severe emotional needs -- does anyone have experience with how BASIS handles something like that for MS?  (E.g. current school waived her tests all last year because she was having panic attacks, even though she is really smart -- tested 3 grades above grade level the year before when she was less of an emotional mess.  Would basis accommodate her?  She does have an IEP and an autism diagnosis.)

3.  If I choose NOT to go to Basis next year (due to severe emotional needs), would it then screw us over in 5th grade eventually because current kids would have priority over siblings?[/quote]

No idea, but any rational person would agree that current students should take priority over incoming siblings.  [/quote]

Yes, although because of that reason, I plan to write against their app.  My emotionally unstable daughter cannot be moved into a new school for 3rd grade next year.  But, I'd hope that she'd be ready for a new school in 3 years, and basically she won't have a spot anymore because they are creating a ES that takes her sibling preference away.  [/quote]

I'm sure that the DCPCSB is going to be moved to deny high quality elementary school seats to the entire city because you may, or may not, get a good enough sibling preference draw.
