I wanted to learn a little more about it. Ds will turn 5 in october and missers the private cutoffs.

Taking zoned applicants. Have you registered yet? I think they are having a day in June where you and your child come to school, your child spends some time in the K classroom and you have a chance to meet admin, parents and teachers. [ Reply | More

np: I did not hear that they plan to turn children away. 183 is one of the 6 schools that take 151 kids but this year 183 and 290 are exempted from taking 151 kids except siblings. [ Reply | More
