All openings are on a first-come, first-served basis and enrollment openings are filled from the waiting list. This means that if you are placed on the waiting list we will contact you immediately if space becomes available. Unfortunately, we are not able to tell you what number your child is on the waiting list because lists are constantly changing based on the criteria above. Because openings are based on available space within each grade level, your child may not be testing to fill an available seat but rather to be placed on the waiting list.
