[quote=Anonymous]To answer your question, yes, Oyster does exactly that.  All inbound, mixed Spanish and English, with spaces reserved for Special Needs.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what does Brent have - 2 PreK3 and 2 PreK 4 classes?

Cut down to 1 PreK 4 class and move along.

Take the PreK3 classrooms (smaller footprint) and make it the 5th grade class room since that grade is the smallest.

Take the shuffle everything to accommodate the another class where needed.

Stop taking OOB and do not take OOB siblings.   When families move OOB - do not let them re-enroll.[/quote]

Brent has no PreK3 or PreK4 classes, only blended ECE classes.

Right tell Principal L.  Tell the LSAT.  Make it happen.[/quote]

Aren't there four Lead ECE teachers, so does the configuration of blended PK3/PK4 or two separate really matter? The ECE presumably takes up four classrooms that could be used to relieve crowding in the compulsory grades.[/quote]

If you cut down to one PK4 from four blended PK classes, that would be 17 kids.  So Brent would be providing ECE for 17 out of about 60-80 IB kids in cohort each year, all of whom would be siblings.  Does any other PK4 in the city operate for such a small percentage of the IB kids?  The answer is no.  FWIW I’m IB and am in favor of cutting PK4 or even all ECE to accommodate compulsory grades in the small building.  But eliminating three out of four of the ECE classes does not make sense.
