Reminder: it's Spring Break week so don't blow up your school's phone tomorrow. They aren't there.

They disable the login feature for a day or two before they post results.

As soon as the results are fully loaded and the site is ready on 4/1 (or perhaps a few hours earlier) they will re-enable the login function and you can see how you did.


Thanks!

Are you assuming they will be released tonight or tomorrow morning?


Tonight - I'm starting as soon as I get home! The wait is killing me...


Check the MySchoolDC twitter feed. This morning they answered that question by saying they 'aim to have it ready' for the morning.

Not going to happen. Except maybe the getting drunk part.


I am a CMI parent. You will fit right in! (Not a bad thing -- we just like to have a little fun.)


Another CMI parent - agreed! Hope all of you waiting on lottery results tonight get some good news.

Neither of your realistics is realistic. You will need a lot of luck.


SS and breathrough are the realistics this year. But Lee does have a new classroom and there will always be more movement in Montessori than immersion (it's just not for everyone).


PP here-- I dunno, I don't think it's crazy to hope to get into Lee. Having Breakthrough, plus SSMA nearby in Brookland, plus the extra classroom, plus Lee didn't have a location when the lottery lists were due.

From what I know about CM parents, you would fit right in.


Sounds good to me. CMI is my #1. There will drinks to celebrate or blunt my disappointment.


Cheers to us all!
