I would like to be an advocate for opening enrollment in 2010-2011 for 1st grade French students.
Currently, the school did not meet its enrollment expectations and only had 3 rather than 4 full kindergarten classes this year. Therefore, technically, there is planned space for 20 students to move forward.
The benefits to the entire grade would be plentiful. This would include a less pronounced loss of students due to the expected attrition rate, enabling the existing class size and experience to remain constant. It would also benefit families that held back their kindergarteners (until the school had run a smooth first year) and were unaware they could not enroll in first grade.
I have spoken to many parents of current kindergarteners who have been following the school through the first couple months. They have become more impressed with the feedback and results we’ve discussed. It would be a disservice to the school, the current students, and the hopeful future parents if we would not offer a limited open enrollment for 1st grade.
I agree with Sally. One more year of a self contained introductory first grade would be doable for the both schools since they’ve already been through it once (unless they don’t want to try to incorporate new kids at this age again-understandable) and would be an important step for maintaining enrollment and thus funding. I think each class would definitely fill.
Just wondering when we will be able to sign up for the October 5th tour? It looks like the form is still set for the 2010 – 2011 school year. Thanks!
