Which day is count day? May 1?

Yes, I know, I should know. This is my first time.

Swami is happy to answer-- Count Day has evolved over the past few years on what it means, but it is basically an in-school audit of who is there. It is usually Oct 1-Columbus Day weekend.

Swami welcomes questions-- she doesn't have all the answers. But has the swamiing

Which day is count day? May 1?

Yes, I know, I should know. This is my first time.

Swami assumes this is for PK3, and if so, if in your real order, keep as is. Swami thinks you'll get offers for both before the 4th of July

Swami, what’s you’re MO? I know you said you’re on spring break but ever since December when you started another thread, you’ve been responding to like one out of 15 posts. Why bother?

Swamis MOs in order:
1) unpaid job (parenting)
2) paid job (stressful)
3) terrible reality TV choices
4) swamiing on anonymous internet sites.

Then stop posting when you don’t have time to respond. And if you do, at least go back to the dozens that asked first. I couldn’t care less, but it’s annoying and rude.

Swami says the PTA president at your new school can't wait to meet you.

Swami you almost made me wake up the baby! I’m still snorting over here.

Dude, it's not that serious. Deep breaths. Swami doesn't owe anyone here anything, and she gives a little insight on some posts when she can. Try to keep some sense of perspective here.

I don’t care if she’s MIA, but to start a thread and then go ghost to new parents that already have some angst and probably refreshing every few minutes for any amount of Hope seems cruel. I can breathe fine. I am at a great school and didn’t play lottery. I just think it’s wrong to start a thread months ago and not even respond. Why start the thread?

Swami, I have been PTA president and graciously past that torch. I promise I’m a nice person but feel sad for the anxious posters you ghosted. It’s almost like you get off on being popular.

Oldest is currently in Bridges, so hoping he will get into ITDS. Looks like #2 shouldn't be an issue even for K.


Thoughts.

Swami says you'll get in by April 27th.

What say you, Swami (and others)?

PK3 - I assume we have no hope!

MV new campus 167

Stokes French 104
Mundo P street 287
DC bilingual 251
Stokes Spanish 177
Lee Montessori 124
EL Haynes 88
Inspired Teaching 158
Two Rivers 167
Burroughs - match (not IB)

Swami says you do have hope in that you have a match. Get on the JBES listserv and stay enthusiastic about it until your post lottery SSMA add gets you an offer and then get back on here ask again.

If these are your best numbers, Swami thinks you will end up at 8th for the year, because Stokes won't be able to guarantee getting both your kids in.

You will volunteer once a month at the Capitol Area Food Bank before evening pickup.

We are hopefully given the low number but also know Hyde is pretty pressed this year. You think we might get a call in early/mid May? Or later?

Swami thinks mid-may is ambitious, but by the end of the school year is not. You'll still pay that private school deposit just in case.
