Question from the soon to be parents - I've been told that I should start thinking about where to register my soon to be child for school. I honestly hadn't thought about this because it's at least 5 years away, but I've heard some schools (such as FFCA) has a 5 year waitlist just for kindergarten. Also, I believe our designated elementary school has a wait list as well.

My questions are:
- What is FFCA, and what's so special about it? Is it part of the public school system? The website says it's a "charter school". What exactly does this mean?
- If our designated school is full, how do waitlists work? Do I just register to be on the waitlist as soon as my child is born?
- I've read that there is a new school (K-9) being built in my area in 2017. How do I go about putting my child on the waitlist?

Thanks in advance!
