We have news to share. We found out a couple of weeks ago that Braison was accepted into a charter school. As some of you already know, we've put the kids on the lottery list for all of the charter schools in the area for the last couple of years. Last year, Braison's name was drawn to have the 7th seat, should it open up; of course, it didn't. So, both Lilian and Braison have been attending a private school for kindergarten this year, just hoping to get drawn next year to attend one of the charter schools.
When the call came in, we were very excited! Of course, I didn't realize at that moment that Braison would have to start following spring break this year. So, we had a decision to make. We chose to pull him from the school he is in and put him in the charter school for the last month and a half of the year. Silly, right? I would think so too, but by doing this, he is in for next year. Lilian will also have a seat next year, because she has a sibling who is already a registered student. Win! Had we made the choice not to send him this year, we would have just had to wait for the lottery drawing and hope that both of them got in, or that one got in and the other would then be accepted in the 2nd grade. Having two kids in two different schools, with two different schedules, for a whole year would have been a challenge.
Braison seems indifferent. Lilian was sad at first (because Braison and her wouldn't be in the same class anymore), but has since realized that it is okay.
I can't believe that they are almost done with kindergarten already.
