I don’t think it has in the past.


It always takes longer for it to post on Parentvue.


It’s never been posted on parent vue before. At all.

USPS Informed Delivery shows we have a letter arriving today. I am assuming it says some version of "no." Does every 5th grade in the district receive a letter today saying whether they were or were not in the lottery in the first place?

Same here. I don’t know if everyone receives a letter or just those who were eligible?

If parents are willing, I would be interested in knowing the MAP-M scores of kids who did and didn’t get selected. (And, yes, I know they’re still using the lottery model.) Best of luck to everyone for good news!

Just received our letter. Made the lottery for math and humanities. But came up empty for magnet placement. Bummer.

Sorry to hear that. The lottery isn't really that great and identifying the best candidates but this is the last year of this experiment so hopefully next year's process will be better.

Congrats. Is that the Jan score or from fall? It’s fall that they look at. Also what does it say in the letter? Any other pertinent info? Does it mention Eastern too?

Entered into both lotteries offered a spot in neither. Also disappointed.
