[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jefferson aside, if you're planning to return to Brent for 5th, it behooves you to let the school know ASAP. The school needs to know whether to lobby for another 5th grade teacher and figure out what to do for another classroom. That is the major impetus for the pestering. Jefferson is very secondary.[/quote]

The major impetus for the pestering is the Jefferson situation. The boosters are claiming that most of the 4th grade families aren't even applying to Latin and BASIS this year. They're planning to return for 5th to make the jump to Jefferson en mass the following year. Many of us have doubts, but we're keeping this to ourselves to avoid tangling with the boosters. It doesn't behoove you to let the school know anything until after the Latin and BASIS lottery results are in. [/quote]

I agree that there's no need to let the school know before lottery results are in (and you've made a decision), but the school will really need to know if a large cohort of 5th graders is returning.
