Do not call 1st thing in the morning - schools are busy with children who are enrolled.

They may be able to give you a sense of where they are with enrollment. You might be surprised that while on the call they say .... yes I was just going to call you.




Echo this.

Down 3 slots at Stokes since last week.


A little, but we are at the very end so it does not necessarily indicate offers being made.

I am worrying too. 4 weeks ago we moved to #1 in the WL and now standing at #2. Last week only 7 seats were offered to the WL, this year 6 were offered up to now. Hope that there will be enough space for us!!!

PK3
#8 Cap City
#6 Powell (proximity preference)
#15 E.L. Haynes

We are matched at our IB Barnard. I am planning to be flexible.

Will my dear daughter attend more than one school this year? Should I be buying uniforms for Barnard but keeping the tags on them?


Swami says plan to wash regularly the three shirts you buy. Your daughter will attend more than one school, but it may be a few weeks.


Dropped off dear daughter at Barnard this morning. Only bought 2 shirts... refreshing the website. Numbers moving - but your predictions may be right!

Current standings:
#2 Cap City
#6 Powell (proximity preference)
#12 E.L. Haynes
#15 Inspired Teaching
