Not worth making a stink about, but I emailed our AART and they said we would hear soon and wouldn’t share. Oh well. I shall wait.

The inconsistency is not ok FCPS. But who would we even point this out to....?

I applaud your level-headed approach and appreciate you sharing it on this thread.

26 pages in and we finally have an acceptance! Congrats!

Could you share last year's GBRS?

OK, how ridiculously irritated is everyone else about the so called “they will send it out on April 8?” I would be shocked if they sent it tomorrow. And oh, some AARTS and principals who are letting people know and others who aren’t!

I think it's tomorrow afternoon right before staff leaves for the weekend.

Do you have to be registered in SIS to get the emails?

[Anonymous]

I think they use the email provided on the application packet

No. That’s for report cards and school related things.

I didn't realize orientation is that fast. If this is the case, I do think we will get the notice tomorrow.

Can someone please help me understand the complete freak outs happening here? I have a 2nd grader and we did a parent referral so I’m curious about the results but...can’t you see that FCPS as a whole and individual schools have MUcH more urgent situations to cope with right now? What is the big deal about hearing on the 9th rather than the 7th? It’s not like there is a race and only the first 200 people who hear will be able to go to a different school. Why does it matter that one school may not hear until tomorrow but another heard this afternoon? Every school is different. Some have full time AART’s. Some don’t have any AART right now. Some have lots of people switching to 4 days and major reshuffling and rescheduling is happening. Isn’t that more important, way more important, right now?

Thank you for voicing what I’ve been wondering.

We, too, received an "AAP Welcome" email today from our second-grader's principal and AAP resource teacher. They advised their email likely precedes the official email from the county. Our child attends a Local Level IV school, and is now eligible to attend a Level IV Center school -- and we understand decisions to accept placement are due May 4, 2021.
