Petition to Establish a Sibling & Twin Unification Policy at The Willow School
We are calling on The Willow School to adopt a fair and family-centered policy that allows qualified siblings—especially twins—to attend school together.
Currently, even when siblings meet all academic and admissions requirements, they may be separated due to the lack of a sibling unification policy. This creates unnecessary hardship for families and places an emotional and logistical burden on both parents and children.
In our case, one twin has been a successful and thriving student at Willow for years, while the other—despite meeting the same qualifications and passing the admissions matrix—is repeatedly denied admission due to limited space and no consideration for sibling placement. This has happened multiple times, leaving our family in an ongoing and deeply frustrating situation.
We fully support maintaining Willow’s academic standards. However, when siblings—especially twins—have both met those standards, it is unreasonable and inequitable to deny them the opportunity to attend together.
We respectfully ask the Willow School Board to:
• Implement a sibling preference policy for qualified applicants
• Prioritize twin placement when both students meet admissions criteria
• Create a more transparent and family-conscious admissions process
Families should not have to choose between schools for their children when both qualify for the same one. Keeping siblings together supports emotional well-being, strengthens family stability, and fosters a more connected school community.
It’s time for a policy that reflects fairness, compassion, and common sense.
Sign this petition to support keeping families together at Willow.

Siblings belong in school together when they are young!! I taught middle school for 30 years and have never heard of one child being ostracized from her siblings in the school setting!!
I am a triplet and my elementary school made sure that all the of us could be accommodated to attend and have our own classes to not compete directly with one another. I can't believe that after 3 years and student openings existing at the school that the other twin has not been admitted yet.
Twin and siblings should be given preference when all other admission criteria are equal. It would be psychologically damaging to a twin to continually be signaled they are less through admission denials.
Please reconsider the sibling preference policy; particularly since we do not have school buses. Otherwise, parents are being asked to drive to multiple schools twice per day, while often working too. Thanks for your consideration.
Our twins had a similar experience but gratefully got seats, one off the wait list. All three of our kids are successful Willow students. We shouldn’t have had the threat of separation.
Siblings, especially twins should be able to attend the same school!
Let's them stay together.

One sibling of four being excluded from an educational institution is inexplicable. What is gained from an educational perspective?
