[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope the schools that do not take summer birthdays do not take the application fee. It is better to post the ages you will take.[/quote] Parent of two kids with August bdays. I don't think that it is an official policy, but do think that an August (or summer) bday child applying to PK/K/1 are automatically looked at with more scrutiny. In both our kids' classes there are students who are at least 14 months older than they are. Some were held back by parents, others did two years of K, and some we know applied for K the previous year and were asked to wait a year and try again. (different schools) If you have a child with a summer bday it is something to be aware of, but if you feel your child is ready, you should send them "on time", if you think they are not, you may want to wait. It does depend on the child and the differences tend to even out in a few years.[/quote]
