We're a PS3 family. Their office has been calling people. I know they haven't finished as of Tuesday afternoon. PS41 is fighting the DOE about the assignments. They want to use their internal list for K and PreK assignments. New neighbor trying to get into 41 got a letter from DOE saying younger child in PreK at 41 and she got a call from the parent coordinator, because her older daughter got a slot in an upper grade. PC told mom that she skipped people on the internal list and that neither child really had a slot. She also said that mom cannot go through the DOE to get into 41, although that is what all parents in the cachement were told to do by the DOE and PS3. I know the PreKs were all screwed up, but what is PS41 trying to pull with the internal list? BTW: Family moved from another district 2 school. [ Reply | More

what do you mean by internal list? families applied directly to doe, so how would the schools have some sort of list that's different from the doe's? they don't even know who applied and who didn't. [ Reply | More

PS41 has an internal list. Mom visited both 3 and 41 this past winter. PS41 told her they would add her older daughter's name to their list and if she got in then the younger one would likely get into PreK. PS3 gave her the DOE form and told her to send it to the regional office. [ Reply | More

sorry, but this makes absolutely no sense to me. and you're contradicting yourself. first you say she was told she couldn't go through doe, now you're saying they gave her a form. there is no "regional" office, btw. honestly, the nastiness and misinformation spread on both sides of the 41 vs. 3 war makes me sorry i ever moved into the zone.

Mom was told two different things at 3 and 41. 3 told her to go through DOE; 41 said only their internal list was valid. Mom put name on 41 internal list and filled out DOE forms given to her by 3 requesting 41. Got letter from DOE saying younger in PreK at 41. PC called her (in not a so nice way) and told her that neither DC was definitely in 41 and that their internal list would be determining placement in 41. [ Reply | More

still sounds fishy. the process for applying to 41 was on their website and it explicitly stated there was a lottery, you need to fill out application and turn it in to boro enrollment office, etc. it is true they are disputing the lottery results now, but i think your friend must have misunderstood about the process.

No, she visited both schools and did exactly what they told her to do. PS41 is trying to use their internal list and not the DOE assigned list for PreK-1. Mom didn't call PC; PC called her (and basically yelled at her for going through the DOE to get older DC into 1st at 41. [ Reply | More

how would the pc even know she applied for 1st if she went through the doe? just as they can't have an internal list because they don't know who applied to the lottery. i mean, whatever. i'm tired of arguing with you. i just don't see why ps 41 and ps 3 parents spend all their time dissing each others' schools. what's the point?
