1. Reminder: Preschool, Kinder and Beyond: SFUSD Primer for
Twins
--------------------------------------------------------
lwallace2011 - 9/22/2016 8:15 pm

 Time Change: Start time is now 8:30pm (not 8pm). I'm
 very sorry if that causes an inconvenience (but I have
 a PTA meeting to attend earlier that evening)!Public
 schools in SF...it's such a scary topic. But it
 shouldn't be! We actually have some fantastic choices!!
 Yes, it's a bit of a nightmare trying to wrap your arms
 around it, but once you do (and it only takes a little
 bit of time to do that), you'll see that it's a pretty
 good process for a difficult situation (situation being
 too many students with only a handful of "great"
 schools and people simply not being aware that there
 are a lot of "very good" schools).We will try to shed
 some light on the process: the speaker will be a twin
 mom who has just gone through the process, with 2
 backup singers (also twin moms who have just gone
 through the process and have been at a public
 Kindergarten for a little over a month now.Topics will
 include:- Primer on public Elementary Schools in SF-
 Brief comments about the process for private and
 charter schools - Specific considerations when applying
 with twins!- We'll have a big map with assignment
 areas, so you can quickly see where your AA school is.
 - What you'll get out of school tours- Discussion about
 some schools specifically - subjective feedback based
 on last year's tours - Discussion about "wait lists"
 and a sample current set of wait lists- Discussion
 about considerations for kids with special needs (Only
 if you indicate in your RSVP note that you are
 interested. Otherwise we will skip)I will be sending
 out an email to all attendees, asking for their AA
 school and a short list of schools they might be
 interested in. Just so we can try to incorporate them
 into our discussion.This event is open to members and
 non-members! If you know a twin parent who might be
 interested in this topic, but is not a member, please
 let them (and me) know. We would love them to join.The
 club will provide wine and snacks.Event Details &
