[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call the school and ask.  Ours was not very friendly so we didn't bother and we ended up going to a small private.  [b]If you do private for K and 1st, you can supposedly transfer to 2nd in public without an issue.[/b][/quote]

Not the OP, but thank you for that info!  We had been wondering that.  Our DS also has a Sept birthday and we're hoping to try for EEK, but good to know this might be an option.  We'd be paying for an extra year of preschool anyway, so if we could get into a private K that'd be worth the expense.  [/quote]

PP, private kindergarten isn't enough.  You have to do k and first to be guaranteed a spot in the class you want.  If you do private k and transfer, your child transfers into public k.  Then after about 6 weeks you can ask for an assessment to have your kid moved to first grade.   But, there are no guarantees and you have to wait out the period of time until you can request the assessment and the decision is made, which is longer than 6 weeks in a lot of cases.  [/quote]
