[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all the good information. It has been very helpful. (I'm the parent who should have received a letter, but didn't . . .)

I wouldn't be surprised if my school was planning to mail the letters Friday -- or even today. I think I now recall that when I received the letter for my older son, I didn't have a lot of time to prepare additional material, even if I had wanted to.

I will definitely be in touch with the school the day the school office reopens.

Our base school has very few Level IV eligible students each year. So I think this delay in sending out the letters is probably a matter of center-placement not being a priority for the school. My husband thinks that perhaps it's part of their plan to hold on to those few students who are Level IV eligible. (The ES has local Level IV, but it's not the same as the Center -- especially when the class contains only one or two Center-eligible kids.) The principal did lobby hard for me to keep my older son at the base school. His teacher, however, made it clear to me that she thought the center would be a good fit for him. And we thought the center would be a better fit. And it's been great, so far.

For what it's worth, I think the school district -- not the ES -- should determine the date when score and eligibility letters need to be put in the mail . . .[/quote]
