Me! Have you heard any reasons why there is only 1 class? The program won't "close" right? Once you are in - you are guaranteed G&T through 5th? [ Reply | More

not ps9, but have heard that there is one class this year because only one class graduated. doubt doe would dissolve an existing class as such. [ Reply | More

i have heard nothing of the sort. If anything they have too many kids. many kids with 99th percentile didn't even get in. the reason they have only one class is because they had to add another gen ed class and there just isn't the room or the budget for an extra kindergarten class at PS 9, so they had to cut G&T down to 1 class. I think it will be fun that there are only 25 of us and we have our own class. Do you have a DD or DS? [ Reply | More

No, I just have a few friends there. I have a DD, young. November birthday. Very worried about sending her to tell you the truth. Our psd wants us to keep her in pre K this year but that might mean going right to 1st grade the year following. [ Reply | More

That is so great to hear. I personally didn't feel our preschool was so "warm"- at least not to me because we weren't super wealthy. [ Reply | More

Hi from another very excited parent! We have shy DD who is just glad not to have to visit anymore schools this year! See you Thursday. (BTW, the message was about a "potlot" picnic -- I assume that means we bring whatever? It could possibly be my first faux pas there if I show up emptyhanded, I suppose:)) [ Reply | More

Do you ever regret not going private or are you totally happy? We had partial FA to a private K but it was still going to be a huge stretch. We said if we got Anderson or 9 we would take it and now we have 9. I'm so excited! But inthe back of my mind I think I'll always wonder how the experience compares. [ Reply | More

we were accepted at 3 privates. Ultimately gave up the one we selected for ps9. It is a terrific school, and we have no regrets whatsoever. [ Reply | More

I don't think it is correct that the reason they went to one class is because there is only one G&T class graduating. the current 4th grade is the first grade in years to have 2 classes. when they were in K, all the other grades had only one G&T class. When they went to 2 G&T classes, they went down to 1 gen ed. two years ago, with the elimination of catchment and sib preference, they had to add another gen ed class. the school, with A in the building, doesn't have the room to sustain 4 classes per grade. since they believe they will still have 2 gen eds, there is only enough room for one G&T.
