Registered at G&T we got into, and our local zoned school. Do we call local zoned to withdraw? Call DOE? Want to make sure the G&T takes priority. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Last week I withdrew my dc from zoned school, where we had registered in March. Will be registering at citywide today. I heard over the weekend that our zoned school now is telling people who live in the zone that there is a waiting list (yikes). [ Reply | More

YOu're not supposed to withdraw from one school. You register at the new school and it goes through as an override transfer. [ Reply | More

You call the zoned school. Chances are, though, that they don't care too much about it because the G&T has the power to override current registrations. [ Reply | More

the zoned school will care, because a lot of planning goes into number of people accepted from outside the zone, which kids go in which class, etc. [ Reply | More

It depends. My zoned school just shrugged it off and didn't care. They didn't even ask for my kid's name. Others, probably the more popular ones, of course would like to hear it from you. [ Reply | More

Mine too. They said go through the DOE and/or the 2nd school. I called the DOE placement officer and she said let the 2nd school handle it, no need to notify the 1st. [ Reply | More

The DO care, they care very much! Our school has a small class size grant and we are about 10 shy of losing it - CALL! [ Reply | More

The DOE actually has a central system that covers all students, no? It is not like every each school keeps track of who is registered or not. Once the school year is over and registrations have been dine principals and other folks just create reports using the centralized system. [ Reply | More

No they don't. When the second school puts in your registration, it automatically becomes a transfer out of the first school, and the first school is notified. I called our zoned school to withdraw, and they literally told me, "We don't need to hear this from you, your transfer will go through the second school/DOE and we can't take any action until that happens anyway."

No, you go to the individual schools to register. Besides, it is the polite common sense thing to do. Call the school and tell them. [ Reply | More

When I called they didn't think it was polite, they thought I was taking up their time unnecessarily. [ Reply | More
