[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how does it work for twins in the lottery? You enter each kid, and if one wins the other gets in, too? (I'm asking as a parent of twins, not in school yet.)[/quote]

You enter the lottery same as anyone.  If one twin gets in, the other moves up to the top of the waiting list - and then you are just in the position of being at the top of the wait list (which means you are likely to get in but there have been rare cases where one kid goes to one school & the other doesn't).  If both twins are on the wait list & one ends up moving off the wait list & gets in, then the other goes to the top of the remaining wait list.  We were in the scenario where one twin got into a pre-k 4 in the first round, other twin ended up on the top of the wait list & we had to wait & check in with the school after the first enrollment period & the wait list was starting to be tapped (for our school, that was beginning of June).

PP here - that is what we were told was standard policy for DCPS.  I think charters may be able to set different rules - you can call any given school and ask.

Thank you both for that information! [/quote]
