I just checked for my kids and their information for next year was there.

The assignment letter has your kid's id below his name in the upper left.
Can you please let us know if you applied there and didn't get in?

Curious what Spectrum school?
My kiddo is #4 on the Spectrum way-list at Whittier for 2nd grade.

220+ kids in the first year open is a pretty dang good number. Do you know what the distribution among the grades is?
My oldest child applied for Spectrum 2nd grade (from a private school), and they blew it -- assigned him to Spectrum 1st grade instead (and then insisted that was what we had signed up for). Weelllll, no. We duly brought in the date-stamped form, and when they realized it was THEIR mistake (and we had found that out -- first, they tried to deny access to anyone who could confirm their screw up) -- they ended up simply placing him, by fiat, in the correct Spectrum class. This happened even though it had a waitlist -- and no, they didn't bump anyone already there; the enrollment folks just made room for us -- since it was clearly their mistake.
If you can establish that your child's form was lost and/or misprocessed, you might want to apply some gentle, insistent pressure for them to fix their error.

Sibling is the first tie-breaker for entrance to the school that your son attends. (First choice on your appliation for younger child.) This is if your son attended the school last year and will attend again this coming school year.
For Spectrum you first need to gain admittance to the school for the Gen. Ed. program(sibling tie-breaker applies), and next go through the Spectrum tie-breakers for admittance to the Spectrum program. For Spectrum the first tie-breaker is Middle School Service Area, followed by lottery number.
Be sure that an issue is on file for your application. You can check by contacting Enrollment Services and they can let you know it has been assigned to someone for investigation.
If assigned to an investigator your enrollment application will be reviewed and someone will get back to you in 2-3 weeks with the result. If you did not receive credit for the sibling tie-breaker with your initial assignment it will be corrected in the investigation and your location on the wait-list adjusted.
Following the investigation of your application - if you still believe your application was not corrected in accord with the enrollment rules and tie-breakers you can file an appeal.

StepJ, this is probably a dumb question, but how does an applicant for Spectrum "first gain admittance to general ed"? Is that an automatic step or must it be specified as a choice on the form?
Confused!

We're assuming that 6th is probably too far down the list to make it. Does anyone out there have recent and similar waitlist experience for Spectrum at Lafayette they can share?
Thanks

--Hoping your luck is better than ours
It's an automatic step that happens when you apply for Spectrum at a school outside of the one you attend.

I am also interested to see where the numbers end up. As a WMS APP family, we haven't heard of any WMS families choosing Ingraham, but did get the feeling that a large contingent from Hamilton was making that choice.
I am excited and hopeful that it turns out well for both schools and I will finally have something positive to say about this district!

#s enrolled where (12-13)
#s on waitlist where
I too would like to see enrollment projections and waitlist numbers.

If a student in the Ballard area applied to say Hale during open enrollment and got in, is that Ballard spot already taken by another open enrollment student, or is it still listed as full and will now be given to someone on the Ballard waiting list?
I hope that was clear...?
