| Does anyone know how people who are not currently in MCPS get notified? My DD applied as a current private school student and does not have a mymcps account. |

| I bet that they mail to non MCPS students but I think you should call MCPS. |

The deadline for all of the registrations is moved earlier than it used to be. They are trying to move the hiring season earlier so that MCPS can hire new teachers sooner than June (which is when it used to be). By then we were missing the opportunity to hire the best teachers. Course registration starts the process, then staffing happens, then teacher transfers, then new hiring. Please register at your home high school now, even if you are waiting to hear. That way you get your electives and you are accounted for in staffing. |

Does anyone know what's up with RM? The HS counselor won't even be meeting with JW 8th graders until early February. There have been no rising 9th grade open houses like at Wootton. Why is their registration so late compared to everyone else? |

Correct me if I am wrong but unlike Wootton, RM has a county-wide IB magnet program, to which applied a whole LOT of kids from the entire MoCo. MCPS will notify students who got accepted into test-in magnet programs including IB at RM by the end of January. Many kids will get accepted to more then one program. Nobody knows when the decisions letters will arrive to the homes of the students. It is fairly logical speculation that MCPS did the right decision to give some time for the letters to arrive and then some more for the students to decide weather to accept the invitation to the program, choose if accepted to more or decline. It is a process. One could assume that the Early February date is set to accommodate the time needed for all the letters to arrive and for all the kids to sort their situation. That will give all the kids both magnet and non magnet equal chance to register to the shared classes at RMIB since magnet kids do share many classes with non-magnet kids. This is not a fact, this is an opinion. |

| I don’t think we will hear anything this week. It’s always been right around January 31/February 1. |

That makes sense. Non-magnet high schools have it in January and magnet high schools wait until February? |

| Einstein doesn’t have the incoming orientation/registration meeting until mid February. |
