[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got in absolutely nowhere for kindergarten.  Compared to previous years our numbers look good, because we're under 100 for most of them, but the numbers of applicants and places are much lower for kindergarten.  I can expect very little movement.

Really depressed because we have no other option.[/quote]

Sorry you had bad luck with the lottery. You'll have to enroll in your IB kindergarten class, right? [/quote]

Yes, that's true.  And I guess it's where we'll end up.  I'm not thrilled about the school, particularly the unenthusiastic teachers, but also Tools of the Mind.  My kid does pretty well at "self regulation" and is already way ahead of what they will be teaching academically.  I don't know a single family in the neighborhood sending their kid their for K.[/quote]

You'll meet them, because you weren't the only parent in the entire neighborhood that was shut out.  [/quote]

Actually, of the many families I know in the neighborhood, I was.  Everyone else already had decent kindergarten options having got lucky in previous years lotteries.  Yes, there are kids at that school, but they are not active in the community and they are not families that I know.  We have a neighborhood listserv with hundreds of parents on it.  Literally NOBODY on that list serv sends their kids there for kindergarten.  A few go there for PS3 and PK4 but by K they find somewhere else to go.[/quote]

Time to roll up your sleeves and recruit.  That is the said reality of DCPS in this era of choice. If you want to build a community you have to do it yourself.[/quote]
