We live in Southeast Austin, TX. My daughter will be starting kindergarten in the fall. We are unhappy with the elementary we are zoned for (I won't mention names), and are hoping to transfer her into a dual language program (if we aren't chosen through lottery to attend our first choice,the public charter Austin Discovery School). She has been in a bilingual preschool since she was almost 2, but we don't speak fluent Spanish at home. It seems like it's much harder for children like my daughter to get into a dual language program than a native Spanish speaker. Any tips on what to do, what to say, or who to contact in order to help our chances of getting in? We are interested in Becker Elementary specifically, but are also open to Sunset Valley or Perez. Thanks in advanced!

ps- any tips on how to up our chances of just getting into our first choice, Austin Discovery School, will also be MUCH appreciated.
