Did anyone receive an in pool letter?

[Anonymous]

I got the notification and got the mail today. It was to confirm when my kid will be dismissed (1pm vs 4pm for his school) for the upcoming 3-hour early release Mondays…

Just picked up our mail. Nothing.

I thought it was going to be emailed?

In pool notification is emailed. CogAT scores with breakdown is mailed.

But CogAT scores should appear on ParentVUE before received in mail, no?

This typically happens. Sometimes the score breakdown appears in documents though. You have to check both the test tab and the documents tab. Just depends on how your school puts it in.

Guess we are really getting this the last day of school before break.

Truly ridiculous considering its information that they probably have sitting somewhere

In addition to wanting to avoid fielding questions from parents, they may want to avoid having parents use the score in their referrals (which yes, are now past due anyway). At least once a day on this platform, a poster is guiding another to articulate why their student can’t get what they need in genEd to justify why they need AAP. This just provides one more data point to game the system. (I’m not saying that’s always a disingenuous argument, but I think we can all agree that AAP admissions has become a little bit about how well parents can construct a packet or make a compelling argument vs. purely the academic potential of a student.)
Let the scores speak for themselves and then use the referral packet to independently provide supplemental info.

Likely depends on the Independant group assembed thats looking at the packet, but an argument that "my child got a 140 COGAT" is a waste of space when they can see your child has a 140 COGAT. I will certainly say that having the sub-scores might be an advantage as to how you focus your emphasis or work samples. For example, better work samples in the "weaker" area to counter the lower score. But this is really appeal level of strategizing.
