[Anonymous]

Anyone gotten a response yet? Post yes or no & your kid’s MAP score for reading.

No response yet. 230.

Is it coming today in mail or ParentVUE?

Nothing came in the mail for me.

No.

232.

They said "week of" 3/28 and I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't even show this week.

My kid already gave her Sherman speech about this, with which I 99% agree.

I do empathize with parental anxiety over this kind of thing. At the same time, I'm hoping it isn't trickling down to much to the kids. Her school is very low-key and yet, apparently, there is already gossip among some of the 3rd graders about who is "smart enough" to get in. Ugh.

Interesting. My 3rd grader is at a CES school and there is zero discussion within her friend group. They don't even seem to understand that half of the 4th and 5th graders in their school are in CES.

No discussion at our school

Yes I wouldn't be surprised if notices come out a couple weeks or so after their stated 'week of.' It sucks, but this is not uncommon here.

Even if there is no delay, mailed this week could be mailed Friday and then mail is taking longer these days. People need to chill.

I’m waiting to see. My kids have no clue what CES is. Our principal tried to reassure parents, saying each school offers the same advancement opportunities as CES. I doubt this is true.

I think this is more a function of one particular group of kids that is getting into ranking people by "popularity" and other attributes. Developmentally normal stuff in some ways, but I especially don't love the CES component. It's not what would be considered a striver neighborhood but I won't go into anymore detail. It is what it is.

Is it Fall or Winter MAP scores that are used for entry into the lottery ?

Winter based on the FAQs

Unfortunately, that is definitely not true. Closer to the truth if your school has the ELC curriculum, though.

Are folks anxious? Are you concerned? Do you have any question as to whether your kids will be in the pool? (Meaning they could be borderline in some way?) Just curious as to whether they will be randomly selected...? Just trying to see if others have received decisions so you know yours is coming soon?

These are genuine questions. What is the mood here? What is the concern?
