[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can talk but as APS keeps changing the criteria and what it seems to want, I don’t know how effective any discussions would be.

We need to see what they come up with on April 30 and what this new questionnaire asks about. Frankly, having had my kids go through hellish overcrowding I want to make sure they share the love on that going forward. And I feel like they have to do something about schools that are under capacity. Yes, I’m talking about Jamestown. It was so underenrolled they had to under the cover of night move preschools programs there to make it look less ridiculous. It has a ton of land for trailers too. [/quote]

How big are preschool classrooms? 24 or less?  Does APS bus those preschoolers up to Jamestown...or are parents responsible for transportation?

Seems like Jamestown has become the latest Option Program in Arlington.  Preschool Option for the rich North Arlingtons.

Google Virginia Preschool Initiative.  There are income eligibility requirements to attend any of the VPI classrooms in elementary schools. Definitely not an option for “rich North Arlington’s.”[/quote]

The Jamestown preschool is Montessori, not VPI, and is only open to families living in North Arlington.[/quote]

Not true. 2/3 of the seats at all Montessori classes are reserved for low income. [/quote]

One has nothing to do with the other. VPI and Montessori are two separate programs, and Jamestown has Montessori, not VPI. Further, if you go to the APS Montessori preschool site, you’ll see the list of which elementary school zones can apply to which Montessori sites, and all of the schools eligible for Jamestown’s Montessori are in North Arlington. Believe it or not, there are low-income families in North Arlington.[/quote]
