[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our oldest child will be starting Oakland Terrace ES.  We are beyond thrilled that our child will be attending a bilingual school. We did not have to deal with the lottery this way.  Other parents in the neighborhood love this school, though their kids were in it  prior to the bilingual program.

We are teachers  (new to MontCo) and researched the h*ll out of schools before purchasing our home. [/quote]

[b]Good luck.. Many happy and many unhappy families there.[/quote][/b]

PP here (teacher couple). How can you be unhappy with a program that has not even started yet?  We talked to lots of parents in the various neighborhoods we looked at and parents seemed happiest in this one, school-wise.  You just cannot beat a bilingual program starting in K  in this day and age.  Husband and i speak decent Spanish (and better French) and know we can give our children reinforcement at home ... Till they out-perform us by 3rd grade :-)

We have been here only  a year (we teach in local high schools) and are anxious to see our oldest child start school soon. [/quote]

NP, also an OTES parent: there's a PP on this board who really dislikes OTES and is quite vocal about it.  Don't let that dampen your enthusiasm.  Our middle starts K this year and we are SO excited about the bilingual program.  We also really like the school in general (oldest is already there).  Every school has its trade-offs, but we've been quite happy with the mix of kids and families and the strength of the teachers.  Welcome![/quote]
