They are probably saying June 30th so people don't pester them if they don't get them sooner.

Of course that is what she would say. That is the company line.

My money is still on June 18-21 for receipt of letter. That's the window from past years, and I believe the appeals committee review is concluded by June 11 (that was the rule last year, with another rule about mailing the letters between 6/15 and 6/30.)

I hope you are right. Does the thought of waiting until June 30 make anyone else queasy?

I dont want to waste summer waiting on things

Principals and local AARTS are supposed to get an eligibility list of the base school kids who were accepted on appeal no later than Monday. Usually the letters are mailed/received shortly after that.

The timing allows them a small window to discuss staffing and placement issues before all the teachers leave on Wednesday.

So it could come any time between now and June 30. I will be scared to open it. My daughter knows nothing about this and I do not plan on telling her until school lets out anyway so maybe it is just fine if it comes next week.

If the envelope is very thin like one page, then be scared. Likely to be a one page rejection letter.
You want to see at lest two pages think.

Be still. Nearly all, if not all, of the children whose parents have posted here will be found eligible on appeal.

For the first round the acceptance letter was mailed first. At least the people in my neighborhood got theirs first and I received the ineligible letter about 3 days later.

Not in my case, both arrived at the same time.

Where does this information come from? Is it true?

I think she/he is just speculating based on the scores posted.

[Anonymous]

Rats, I didn't post scores. But I'm still hopeful.

Good thoughts to all.
