They tell us to be involved with our kids' education, but never give any planning time. As for working parents - forget us! All events are now during the daytime. If I didn't work part- time as a physician in a field that is family friendly, i would never get to attend any of DD's school events.

Wish I could meet with Garza and share this with her...

Both the scores and the admission letters are or were before the deadline/orientation. If more events were in the evening, stay at home parents would complain.

Not OP, but a few schools dropped the ball during this year's tight timeline. Some parents received their scores 1 or 2 days prior to the deadline. The timeline was too tight this year. I remember just a few years back, I had plenty of time to get recommendation letters and work samples. I was very rushed this time.

Schools were already encouraging parents this time to create packets earlier regardless of the scores since they already said the timeline was going to be tight.
