At Nottingham, class assignments are posted on the windows the day the letters go out. I talked to the office recently, and they are still trying to figure out how many students are going to show up due to Discovery and new kindergartners being enrolled daily.

Check the school website now. At our school you bring the school supplies to the open house the week before school starts. Links for some schools are below, to give you an idea, but call the school if it's not on your child's school website. E.g. I couldn't find Jamestown's.

Your school should have lists available on its website.

Mostly true but not always true. In some circumstances, they do accommodate.

Hopeful about what, exactly?

We usually get the notice around the end of August.

Varies a little but usually not until a week or two before school starts.
