[quote=Anonymous]The good news is that spots open up unexpectedly right up to when school begins, so be sure to let each school know that you are still interested and would be willing to sign a contract at a moments notice.We found a spot at a school we were happy with when we unexpectedly moved to the area in August several years ago. My child ended up staying through middle school because she thrived there. What schools did you apply to and at what grade level? Did you feel that each was a good fit for your child. Continue to stay in close touch with all of them. If the admissions officer did not fall in love with your family the first time around there is still time. Spread a wider net- perhaps even the Virginia and MAryland schools. Check out www.washingtonindependnet.org for the full list. Are you coming from another school where you have help with this? You can ask your counselor to call around and start to identify who has spots- but it may be too soon- families will start to make changes in the next few months. You can also hire a consultant if you think this is too much to do on your own. [/quote]
