 I have heard that there is a way to check with the city
 in person each week as to whether there are openings in
 a given school. My sister said that most people she
 knows who were persistent eventually got into their
 preferred school. You could try that, and homeschool
 in the meantime if nothing else works out... Good
 luck!

 If you don't already have a Counselor assigned to your
 case down at the Placement Office, I would go down
 there as soon as possible and put a face to a name, and
 check in with them regularly. The school secretaries
 just started back at school yesterday. Last year, when
 one of my twins was assigned a different middle school
 from his brother. Once the secretaries were back at
 school, they were able to do a count of some kind,
 which then opened up spots. Once that happens, it
 becomes a domino effect. When openings happen at one
 school, that enables those waiting for those open spots
 to give up the spots that there were holding, which
 then leads to openings for others. My son didn't find
 out he would be able to join his brother at the same
 school until the Wednesday before school started.The
 most important step to take now, is to be sure you have
 a Placement Counselor that's aware of your needs and
 keep checking in with them...preferably in
 person...squeaky wheel.Good luck!

 Look unto SF Scoolhouse, a very small private school
 started a couple of years ago by about 8 families. It
 is like homeschooling in a group.Good luckGedaliaSent

 register our kids with the school SFUSD assigned us
 with 1st round, because it wasn't the school we wanted
 and it was very far away from our home. Now we don't
 have any assigned schools for our kids. We filed for
 medical hardship but it is denied again. There is no
 way that we can drive them to other side of the city. I
 just don't understand why they have to send us across
 the town, since our neighborhood school is only 4
 blocks from our home:( Anyone is homeschooling their
 kids? How is it working out with you? Please advise?
