There are multiple open slots for the 4th and 5th graders in the Spanish immersion program at Burnt Mills ES (BMES), as of today (April 2013), and it is full and perfect up to the 3rd grade. BMES immersion students graduate into SSI middle school's immersion program. BMES is a Title 1 school now and especially welcomes students from low income families. Students who are not lucky enough to win lotteries for the other two Spanish immersion programs should really seek out BMES for a great education, and to save this program at the 4th and 5th grade level.

Unless someone is a native Spanish speaker, they cannot just walk into the program in fourth grade and hope to survive...
