[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ there is one major sign up window in the spring. That is relatively well promoted. Immersion could happen after/as part of that window.

As for reaching parents and people being away - [b]people should provide cell and email and be given 3 business days to reply. [/b]You miss it then you miss it and they go on to the next family. You could also cap the number of lotteries a family applied to in order to cut the dance down some.

The reality is the current system is not designed well to be widely accessible to families seeking immersion for their oldest. MCPS needs to think how to fix that info gap problem. [/quote]

This is actually the current practice more or less (I'm not sure of the exact # of business days but its around that number).  So lets play things out...  If you notify the first set of parents at the beginning of May and a family declines a spot and subsequent families decline a spot or don't respond after 3 business days.  You have gone through roughly 7 families by the end of the month with a waitlist into the hundreds.   That number could be less depending on how fast the office turn around is once a spot is declined and they are prompted to contact another family.  Now, this goes on all through the summer...  May, June, July and August.  Now you are at family 28 roughly.  Of course, families could respond faster so it may not be that extreme but you get the point.  Now think about trying this at say the beginning of July or August![/quote]
