Your PKer will go to the top of the waitlist if your 1st grader has been accepted due to sibling preference. Call or email the school tomorrow just to make sure this happens.

I thought that if one sibling gets in another would get top billing on the waitlist. So either IT doesn't do this or more likley, once you've completed and submitted the enrollment paperwork for your first grader your PKer would get bumped from 88 to 1 on the waitlist. You should ask.

Once you enroll your 1st grader won't your PK'er go to the top of the waitlst?

Look at zzyzx - on the prek list. Is this a joke name?!?!?!?

Welcome to IT, new families! We love the school and are sure you will, too.

2nd year IT family

Children in PS and PK must be dropped off by 9 am, or as early as 8:20. K and up are between 8:20 and 8:45.

This and more are in the family handbook:

well, at 298, I can cross IT off my list now too. so far, I'm high 200s (CM and MD), mid 400s (Cap city) and low 700s (Lamb) for 5 schools. high 20s/mid 30s though for Marie Reed and for Clevaland Dual.

Does anyone know when Bridges will post?

Chances are that this family doesn't go to the top of the list. What I remember them doing in the past is randomly picking/generating a number for this family between 1 and the last waitlist spot +1. That's where the kid's name will go. Could also have ended up in another grade's pile due to clerical error or user error. Post back, PP, and let us know what happens.

PS and PK drop off is officially between 8.30 and 9.00, but our PK teacher lets parents drop off from 8.20.

The upper grades start earlier.

Thanks, PP. And if you don't do beforecare, what time can you bring your children to school? I'm just trying to figure out if I could feasibly drop my son off on the way to work. Thanks.

Before care starts @ 7:15, currentlly 6.99 per day. Aftercare runs til 6:30, currently 15.99 per day. There are monthly options for each that are a bit less than daily rates.

Last year we were 59th on the list for PS and got offered a spot in September. We turned it down for another spot ( mainly due to commute concerns) but the lists did move.

The principal just called me after I had emailed about the missing application for my little one. She was so nice! She said that this kind of thing happens sometimes but they will make it right.
