[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If part of the consideration is a younger child in daycare (and the double drop-off/pick-up), then it's possible it could make sense to put down the SD campus now (which sounds like it works with your commute).  In three years when the school moves, it sounds like you would be done with daycare and so  both kids would be together.  Maybe with one drop-off/pick-up, it's possible it is more feasible.  Not as in "this-is-amazing-and-definitely-rank-it-#1" sort of way, but in a "this-could-work-for-now, rank-it-#10" and see what happens sort of way.[/quote]

Hmm, good point. I'm not crazy about the commute time to the school, but the elimination of an extra stop during the commute is definitely encouraging.[/quote]

This is basically us. We live 5 min from SD campus and have 2 drop offs. After drop offs, one of us works downtown and does not drive there so they depart from metro or on bike after coming home from dropoffs. We are going to have to start commuting to new campus next year, having an older child. We are not, however, lotterying for another school this year.

The commute will now add in the extra 20 minutes commute, approximately, but getting from the new campus to work downtown can only efficiently be done on bike, there is no metro there. So we are currently looking into an electric cargo bike. In case a drive is needed we may have to do roundtrip dropoff and then work from home that day?

We are awaiting the school's word on bussing. Many families are hopeful about this and would take that option.

If I were you....I would probably list a few schools higher up, but, would still list LAMB. But, I also have the experience and I know that we do not want to give up either Spanish, or Montessori, so we are kind of stuck :) [/quote]

Wait.  Did you say an electric bike?  Down north Capital St to downtown?  Have you or DH actually driven that route in rush hour traffic???

Curvy roads, tons of traffic, narrow shoulder.   It’s an accident and disaster waiting to happen.  Big, big, safety issue and endangerment here.[/quote]

No, from upper 14th street. Still to determine exact routing.[/quote]
