[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twin parent, if your twins are #1 at each other's matches, your odds are very good. Have you looked at the data for previous year waitlist movement for the two schools in question? It's not a perfect predictor, but it can set your mind at ease. Most schools make a least a few waitlist offers, and many will wind up going deep into their lists. I anticipate your kids will be at the same school before August. Though I can understand why that's a stressful situation to be in.[/quote]

So dismayed to see that DCPS still has not figured out how to accommodate twins, triplets, etc. We went private because our work schedules required certainty not months of wonder and worry. Sibling preference should work for multiples, not just for singletons. Ridic.[/quote]

Preschool class sizes have a firm legal enrollment cap.  Sorry if you don't like it, but it isn't a matter of DCPS figuring anything out.  [/quote]

NP here,

There should be an option where twins are placed together from the start.  So, let's say that Twin A's name is drawn, and he places into the 3rd choice school, then Twin B also gets a space in that school, and one less kid is added from further down the lottery list.

It really wouldn't be hard, and it wouldn't impact preschool class sizes. [/quote]

Exactly! I'm the supposedly "strangely bitter" PP. Software can definitely do that, but there has to be a will to do so. [/quote]
