When school started in September 2009, my child was 25/26 on the waiting list.
After the initial week she was 5/6/7 on the waiting list. We thought that her number would come really fast... maybe in a couple of weeks. However, once folks settle down the list moves super slow.
She finally got the call in the month of April.
For 8 months, my child attended Grimmer. We had mixed feelings in moving to Leitch. We did not want to be on the waiting list when school starts for Grade 1. Simple put, the teachers in Grimmer were awesome and we did not feel like moving school so late in the year. Here are some of my thoughts about Grimmer and being overloaded:

- the teachers Ms T and Ms R are really good. They had the respect of the class and ALL students listened/obeyed/loved the teachers
- most of the class in grimmer was overloaded from warm spring. Several folks from warm springs are going to grimmer. It was easy to carpool
- Parking is easy in Grimmer. (this may be because the number of students is less)
- Flexible: parents can check out the class, how the kids are in class and talk to the teacher after school.
- I saw several younger siblings also interacting with the teacher.
