    Did you call Rav Feiner (White Shul) or any other local Rav for guidance?

    WHat did you find out when you did your investigation before moving to the area?

    Did you get any commitments for any of the schools?

    A very good place to start with now would be your Rov. The Rabbonim have been dealing woth the schools as long as they have been rabbonim.

    holykugel: How about YCQ, HALB, SKA etc.?

    Also where in the Five Towns did you move? Not to get personal, but a school in one town may feel that someone in another town should go to that town’s school.

    There are five of them.

    Also did you first notify them now, after the classes were created? Not to accuse, but that is way too late and a mistake on your part.

    I still think they should accept you. I was friends with one of the founders of TAG, and he would not be happy that it would be rejecting frum children had he been alive to hear it.

    Did you check into the schools in Queens? Many of them have buses/vans from the 5 Towns.

    I remember taking a farher when applying to mesivta for the 9th grade, that after the farher with the menahel which, I think went rather well, my father and I were told, “I’m sorry, we have no more beds in the dormitory”. It was their way of saying we dont want your kind around here. After asking around (it helped that I had 3 first cousins in the mesivta and 3 uncles in the parent body) we found out that they felt we were not their type because my father was wearing a straw hat.

    I would be surprised if they could not squeeze your girls in. It would be a shame to send them to Queens, when their Shabbos friends will be the local girls who live and go to school in the Five Towns. It is very important to have friends where you live. Keep trying for TAG. It is a great school. It is true that they are crowded, because their bldg expansion plans fell through with the economy, but keep pushing.

    holykugel, if you pay full tuition… i don’t know but from my experience, $$$$$ doesn’t talk it SCREAMS! Those who pay full tuition… they get what they want, which class their kids are in…

    Hatzlocha rabba, keep davening.

    Perhaps you should ask your husband to go over to the Rav of the shul he davens in; if that’s not an option, Rabbonim aren’t usually too hard to find (hint: they tend to be in shuls) and are usually more than willing (and often able) to help.

    That said, I wish you a bracha that your children should get into the school that’s good for them b’mihairah, and that they should excel and grow there.

    Speak to Rabbi Speigel.

    I don’t think you will have a problem, but it might take some time (maybe until after the Yomim Tovim). It is really just too short notice to figure stuff out.

    Oh yes and holykugel: Keep calling, don’t just call once and give up. Obviously be nice and respectful, but persistent pleas are much more effective than one-time calls.

    Bnos Malka in Queens. Conveniently right off the Van Wyck.

    It is really an excellent school. The principal is super nice and the teachers are great. My niece will be starting there this year, and my brother really does his homework about schools.

    I think you should call them. (718) 268-2667 (I can’t confirm the phone number, so if it doesn’t work, call around for it)
