[quote=Anonymous]I know the SSFS counselor has been reaching out to counselors at other schools, and that many of them are connecting her with admissions counselors at their own schools for help matching kids with open spots. As stressful as this is, everyone is trying to help and I believe most if not all will find an appropriate spot elsewhere. That doesn’t mean that there won’t be a longer commute or less aid (remember, most aid was given out to those students accepted during the normal process - yet another way SSFS really stuck it to kids by shutting down so late). It also doesn’t account for the disruption or loss of social networks for kids (their longstanding, supportive relationships with peers and educators). But I do believe everyone in the area is empathetic and doing their best to help the displaced SSFS students. If I were a SSFS parent (I’m an educator at another school), I might try to send my child with a friend to a new school if possible. Even one friend can make a huge difference. Barring that, I’d ask for a shadow day and a “buddy family,” if possible. I’d also find out if there are any orientations during the summer for new students. Make sure you get on all mailing lists. My advice would be more or less the same if the shift is to a local public school. [/quote]
