[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year and the year before, the site crashed, because of the incredible demand, which is the source of the "panic" they site.  Yes, there's huge demand because they open an SINGLE WINDOW of registration time for an enormous student population.  How about break it up by school and leave it as first come first served, and maybe incorporate the "re-enroll unless you opt out" as well, to further decrease stress on their crappy IT system.

I don't have time for this.  What a mess.[/quote]

This is so logical. At McK a few years back it filled up in March so parents who didn't immediately re-enroll got waitlisted even before the end of the school year so before the K kids even registered. [/quote]

DS got waitlisted last year for McKinley even though I registered on "opening day" but later in evening after kids bedtime. I too was locked out in AM and could not take day off to wait in line. Apparently, if I had called the office to complain about system being down, the office would have taken my name to give me higher priority. Who knew.

This is especially difficult for those of us who are single parents or inflexible work hours/shifts or long commutes (ahem, lots of us) prohibiting flexible drop off and pick up.[/quote]

This is also the year they expanded capacity. McK is beyond overcrowded if they can't serve the community's needs.[/quote]

No, no. Everything is fine. John C and CB told me so. Nothing to see. [/quote]
