| I see that Deal has a couple open houses this weekend and in early May. Are these only for incoming 6th graders? I have a current 4th grader and we live in bounds for Deal. I'd like to start getting a feel for whether Deal will be a good fit, or if we should more deeply explore other options like Private. Is it OK to sign up and go, or is that frowned upon/not the purpose? I assume there are also tours again in the early Fall (or I hope?), but by then we'll need to quickly start making decisions on applications etc. Thanks! |

| Do yourself a favor and explore the math and ELA curriculum. Ask hard questions about acceleration and what courses are actually available. I would also ask about Ed tech and what books (and How many) are read for English. |

| Nobody cares, in private or public, if you show up at an open house and you're not applying/attending in the immediate future. Some private schools are having spring admissions events this month and next if you want to get a head start there. |

Yes you can sign up. They’re super informal, and we saw some rising fifth graders there. |

| Normal for 4th grade families to go. |

| Great, thanks for this feedback. Also for the feedback about things to ask or look for, that's actually quite helpful. I'm quickly realizing there is a lot to educate myself about MS very quickly to make sure we make the right decisions for our kid. |
