[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also just lost a PK4 spot because the school told me there's a shadow waiting list of kids who are going to repeat the grade. :([/quote]

Repeat the grade? This is in DCPS? These must be strong start students who have to stay in their grade according to where their birthday falls on the calendar. [/quote]

That scenario would have to be repeating PK3 though, right? To have multiple kids repeating PK4 does sound like - as the next poster said - parents finding a workaround to the closing of the red shirt loophole. So instead of just starting your kid a year late in K and getting sign off then, you start them on time for PK4 and petition to the school they aren’t ready for K. Would be interested to know if this happened at a school that previously had a large number of late entries to K. Have never heard of a PK4 spot being rescinded for this reason in all of my DCPS years. [/quote]

I’m the PP who came up with that hypothetical. Since pre-K isn’t compulsory, parents could theoretically have a four year-old start mid year? So let’s say a kid born in Oct. Kid starts in Oct and is there basically all year, but still repeats the year to stay with correct age cohort. [/quote]
