A presentation run by District Administrators and Dos Caminos Teachers that will provide parents with more information regarding Dual-Language research, details regarding program implementation here in Mamaroneck, along with an opportunity to ask questions.

Once you have attended the Information Meeting, you will have the opportunity to fill out an application, have your child screened, and participate in the lottery. If you submit your application after the deadline, please note that you will not be part of the lottery, but will be placed on the Wait List.

All children entering Kindergarten in the Mamaroneck School District receive a full screening by the Nurse (hearing and vision) and Speech Department. Dos Caminos applicants receive an extra speech screening by the ENL Department in Spanish only if they are Spanish dominant.

Applicant names will be put into  categories based on language dominance. Applicants will also be divided in the lottery by school zones-an equal ratio of students will be pulled in the lottery from each of the other 4 elementary schools. Once the student names are pulled in the initial lottery, the remaining names will be selected for the Wait List in the order in which they are pulled. In the event that an applicant pulled in the lottery declines his/her spot, the next applicant on the Wait List will be contacted. If we do not hear from an applicant by the deadline (May 9th), we will call the next person on the Wait List.

If an applicant declines his/her spot, the applicants from the Wait List need to be given ample time to make a decision. We therefore cannot give more time for a decision than is allotted for on the timeline. Please note that we will make three attempts to contact anyone pulled in the lottery. We will use all forms of communication listed on the application. If we are unable to contact you after three attempts, we will call the next person on the Wait List.

If you are zoned for Chatsworth, Murray or Central and you are accepted into the program, we will let your home school know so your child can be registered at MAS.

This orientation is for ALL incoming Kindergarten parents. If you are accepted into the program, you will attend orientation at MAS. If you are not accepted into the program and are zoned for one of the other three elementary schools, you will attend orientation there.
