| Forgot to put a question mark at the end. I was asking if anyone received a call from Stokes. |

| No one will discuss anything helpful about Stokes, just snark, like "call the school", etc... I'm too nervous. Could someone please call! |

| I don't believe there's anything to discuss yet - it's been less than a week since they posted results and the accepted student families are still getting their acts together. Hopefully the discussion will pick up in a few weeks as parents make decisions and the Stokes lists start to move. |

| Accepted Stokes parent here. The Stokes admin couldn't tell me which class my child would be in (French or Spanish). They seem very disorganized. Current parents, what is your take on this? |

When you received your notice, did you tell her your preference? |

Did you get in through lottery and what grade? |

Current parent: Let them know your preference. If they are able to get you in that target language class they will. What grade will you scholar be in? |

| Any word of WL movement at Stokes? |

The right to use the title scholar has to be earned, and it's not earned in elementary or middle school. They are students, not scholars. Language has to have some meaning. |

| Oh geez! The semantic police are awake! Scholar is totally fine. To create the self-fulfilling prophecy, we should be calling our kids scholars. |

| Stokes refers to students as scholars. |
