Original letter when placed in waitpool said:

The records of all students in the wait pools will be automatically reviewed as part of the Level One Appeals process.

Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. But maybe it’s a bad sign that we got this rejection of others in the waitpool aren’t getting it.

We also received when my DC is in my car. It’s sooooooo sad.

My kiddo is supposed to be in a waitpool, but just got a rejection of the “level 1” appeal that was initiated by opting to stay in the waitpool. No mention of the waitpool in the rejection, so we are now thoroughly confused. Did they kick the kid out of the waitpool? Private school looking better and better. This entire process seems bizarre.

We also received one of these letters and it's very strange. Did our kid get kicked out of the waitpool? Seems to be what it's saying, which is weird if they need wait pools to draw from to fill the cohort.

I posted about this letter first. The fact that others received it is actually giving me great hope that we aren’t kicked out. I’m hoping it’s just a form letter that is meant to reaffirm current placement in the waitpool. Wording is definitely unclear though.

I don't know. My reading was that the kid had been kicked out of the wait pool. It doesn't say anything about the kid remaining in a wait pool. Did you submit an appeal?

For which program? I thought you didn’t need to do anything to stay in the waitpool so we didn’t. Also haven’t received an email. Assuming we’re still in the wait pool.

Turned down Blair CAP, Wheaton Biomedical and Wheaton Engineering for Poolesville Global ....

We got an acceptance from the Poolesville Humanities wait pool via email this afternoon. We were also in wait pool for SMCS but no word about that. Good luck to your kiddos.

You won’t get SMCs. It’s a polite no. They usually don’t have many people who turn down the spot- like close to none. When my son was on the WL we called and they said one year they had 0 movement and another year 1 or 2 spots. Congratulations on Humanities. PHS is a great school.

I thought the original email said to respond if you want to stay in the waitpool. We got a letter today confirming we are still in the pool.

I second this. Last year smacs moved 1-2 spots that’s it.

The official notification in ParentVue says your student will remain in the waitpool until the first day of school if not selected.

It was confusing. I think in one place they said you don't need to do anything to stay in the waitpool. In another place it said respond to the Google form. We didn't see that second part so we didn't respond and we did not get a letter saying DD is still in the wait pool.

I did the google form but didn't submit any extras and just did the absolute minimum as I didn't care. It is really confusing.

Turned down RMIB and Blair SMCS for Blair Cap.
