| Are the applications for the lottery process simply a black hole? I've submitted applications for my kids and all I get is an email saying something was submitted. No specifics whatsoever. |
|
Body of email looks like this:
<<Thank you for completing the Options Schools Application Form for School Year 2018-2019. Your application has been received and recorded for Arlington Public Schools. This is an automated message. Please do not reply to this email. >> |
|
What would you like in addition to this?
A link to donate the the Arlington County Democratic Party?
|
apply early and often
|
| Weird. What makes you think I'm a dem? Because I live in Arlington? I'd like the child's name and the school option that I registered for. How is that too much to ask? Its simply a manner of verifying that the form I believe I filled out and submitted was actually filled out and received as I anticipated. Technology is certainly capable of such a response. |
| Matter |
| The Dem comment was given with the international emoji of sarcasm and reflects the politics of the School Board. I got the response to my applications and I expect nothing better from APS. BTW, did you check out the latest APS email missive on DACA? |
| Haven't. Nope. I get your mood, now I think. ? I guess you are simply reinforcing my displeasure with the "empty" email response. The whole application process seems to suggest that one could fill that form out a million times and maybe have your child entered into the lottery a million times. I like that the forms have gone electronic, but it all definitely seems to still need work ? |
| Those question marks are supposed to be smileys emoticons.! Who needs help with their tech now. |

Here's the DACA news release:

As a conservative, the virtue signaling drives me nuts. But living in Arlington, I keep my head low and donate to tne other guy. Just never expect to win. |
I’m a democrat, and I agree. Drop the first 3- paragraphs and just get on with it. Arlington always sounds just so impressed with itself. Just do it ( live your values) and shut about it already. - sorry for the tangent. |
It’s lovely, but shame that APS doesn’t address the things that it actually has the authority to address: an appalling lack of capacity at the high school level, and ridiculous de facto segregation between North and South Arlington schools. They are pretentious hypocrites of the highest order. |
I presume you had to submit their APS student number on the application, right? That’s how they would de-duplicate. |
| I wonder how they are going to figure out my two entries are twins and should be treated as one application. |
