[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re someone mentioning they already booked a family dinner. We had K-8 graduates waiting for a decision previous years. Our school’s recommendation was not to plan anything for the decision day beforehand. If you don’t get good news canceling plans would be more dramatic and impact your kid even more negatively. Why to plan anything? If there is good news you can just decide to go to a restaurant then. It is a random Friday so there plenty of places that don’t need a prior reservation.[/quote] +1. I would not plan anything and tell your kid about it, especially for an 8th grader hoping to get into a certain high school. You can always decide to celebrate last minute if it’s good news. I bought my DC a sweatshirt from his first choice, didn’t tell him about it, and gave it to him the day we found out he was accepted. If he hadn’t been, we would have returned it or donated it.
