We are anxiously awaiting notification for private school entry tomorrow. We are fine where we are but applied to our #1 choice (wait listed last year). Decisions emailed at noon tomorrow. It's been a very very long process.
DD1 will be in 2nd grade this fall at a public school so total cost is about $120 for the year, and DD2 will start preschool 2 days a week (100 registration fee and then $90/week.)

Our kids are in the public school (currently K and 3rd). Open enrollment ended last week, but since we aren't looking to send our kids outside of our neighborhood school we didn't have to do anything. They're automatically registered/re-enrolled.

I registered DD3 for preschool (5 afternoons a week) back in January. DD2 was enrolled in public K around the same time. DS will be going into 2nd grade and DD1 will be going into 4th grade. No need to register them.
ETA: Public school registration is free. Preschool registration is $55 enrollment fee. We also need to pay the first month's tuition before she starts ($316).

I registered DD for kindergarten last month. It is a new (to everyone, lol) school. DS does not want to change schools, so he'll be in 3rd grade at his current school. Both are public schools.

I registered DS for a new (to us) preschool a month or so again. No registration fee. He'll go 5 days a week, 3 hours a day, for $264/month. 3 days are preschool, the other 2 are "enrichment".

Registered last month (deadline was 2/21) for DD's ABA based reverse inclusion preschool. She'll be in their 4K class with other kids who have late bdays/miss the cut off. ETA: $250 deposit
We registered DD for full day kindergarden last month. It was $100 which will be applied to tuition. Rates for next year haven't been released yet but I'm anticipating just under $5,000 including fees for the year. There is a 2% discount if paid in full by the end of August.
DS1 will go to preschool 2 days a week from 9-12. His registration was also $100 that will be applied and we registered at the end of January I believe. His tuition is $1,164 for the school year.
Both are blue ribbon catholic schools.
Oh I forgot. Technically we're part of the parish that DD will attend school at since it's our neighborhood church, but we go to mass and tithe at another church. There's a $500 surcharge for non-parishioners that we will donate just to keep things on the up and up even if it's not technically required. I have absolutely no problem with the difference in tuition rates, the members of the parish's contributions make up a significant portion of the school's operating fund.

We just registered DD1 at a new preschool. She got the only non-sibling spot for 3 year old (3 half days) preschool, but she's now guaranteed a spot until she graduates from 8th grade there and goes to high school. We do have to re-register every year.

OP, I am jealous of you and my brother who send three kids for what I pay for one.
DD has no option for public school. It completely slayed her, and private school is like a miracle. DS seems ok with public thus far, though I have to drag him out of the car regularly at drop off.

I registered the twins for public Kindergarten a few weeks ago. Had to pay $250 per kid. Registered my youngest DS for 5 days a week at his MDO in January for $100.

We registered the girls for school in February, but the contracts aren't sent out until April. We will need to pay $250 in enrollment fees and a deposit of $400(?). Same private school they have been attending.
