Imagine Lamond is a fine school for PS and PK. There is a current thread discussing them now in the "what sum hooks are still accepting" topic.


I hear they had a lot of staff turnover this year (perhaps as a result of cheating scandal). They seemed very disorganized when we toured. Great playground, though.


The PS class looked very organized, happy and safe when we toured. Check it out yourself.


Was that Tolson or Lamond?

That's what I was thinking too until I called and they accepted my child last year with a November birthday. Charters can make exceptions but they are enforcing it this year.


OP here. I called, based on old threads, and was told Sept 30.


They just started enforcing it this school year.


They had so many more people applying this year.

Yep. Great school. DC is happy and singing Hebrew around the house after a week. Very diverse program, relatively small classes. Teachers are very warm and communicative.

Yes Sela will accept a late birthday as they did with my child. She was previously in a center based PreK program the year before.
