Online applications will be accepted for students entering Kindergarten only exclusively for the Spanish Immersion program at Overlook Elementary School. Overlook Elementary will begin its transition to a dedicated Spanish Immersion school next year. New lottery applications will be accepted for students who live in the service area for the school. If your neighborhood school is south of Central Avenue, inside the beltway, or south of Pennsylvania Avenue, outside of the beltway, you are eligible to apply.

Just didn't work for me logistically. I entered the lottery before a location was chosen. I would have one kid in Upper Marlboro, one in Glenn Dale and the oldest in College Park. I'm responsible for pickup because my husband doesn't get off until 6:30.

For those that are giving up their Spanish immersion placement spots, what were your reasons?

To the parents asking about the Spanish Immersion program, my guess is because there are three different ones in the county each one would be different. I know a couple families going to the one at Cesar Chavez. It's a great space, really. Large playground with lots of trees, school garden, very small building so the school would always be capped at around 300 kids maximum. Small schools are much easier to organize.

We are most likely going to give up our spot as well.

Can we still apply? My daughter would be in PK4.
