[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, I suspect one of two possibilities. When you fill out the application for the student number, you need to indicate the language in the home. It doesn't show upon the lottery application, but it's in your file. Go back and check that paperwork.

1. Based on her last name (and maybe you said both languages at home on the original enrollment), they put her in the Spanish grouping. Last year they had to do another round of applications for Spanish, because not enough Latino families knew about the lottery.

2. There is some funny business going on, ie, they sent out letters to Spanish immersion first in the hopes of making it a more solid program.

Regardless, you should also be getting a spot at BOTH your other choices. There are only nine kids ahead of you for four? Kindergarten classrooms at Pullen and 14 or so for the three? Classrooms at Goddard. Definitely call first thing Monday and if they tell you otherwise, complain loudly.

I don't remember a space for ranking anything so even so how would they know what which choice is In the best interests of your family.

Have you visited all three classrooms? I'd do before finalizing a decision.[/quote]

There was no ranking - it was clearly stated that all selections would be treated equally. Parents should have made the decision on what school would be the best interest of the family before applying.[/quote]
