[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just looked at my USPS Informed Delivery email this morning, and there's a tear-the-edges letter to The Parents/Guardians of Larla Larlason, so I assume that will be it.

I don't see it in Parentvue-- I'd assume it would pop up on login or be in Documents?-- so PP who said they'd send it by mail and it wouldn't end up in Parentvue for another few weeks or w/e may be right. [/quote]

Nothing in Parentvue.

Do you think you get a letter either way - or just if you get in?[/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to, and I know from reading past discussions that you at least get a letter if your kid was/is in the pool (even if your kid was not selected randomly to receive an offer). However, even searching the board just now, I have no idea if everyone receives a letter. As in, every 3rd grader gets a letter, that says either:

-Not in pool
-In pool, not selected
-In pool, selected

I don't think the above is true, though.

I couldn't find any info on this either way-- which is to say, I saw no one ever commenting (at least since they started with this process last year) "I got our letter today, and my kid was not in the pool." Intuitively, I can infer that is more likely to mean that:

1) You [i]only[/i] get a letter if your kid was put in the pool.
2) That letter says that your kid was selected from the pool, or not selected.

If I'm correct, then that means you can get a letter without an offer. This makes sense anyway, just to inform people, and also because your kid is automatically in the wait pool if they aren't selected, so you should be aware of that.[/quote]

Sorry that was unnecessarily complicated and too much thinking "out loud."

Bottom line, my best guess is:

[b]1) You [i]only[/i] get a letter if your kid was put in the pool.
2) That letter may say either that your kid was selected from the pool, or not selected, and therefore in the wait pool.[/b][/quote]

For what it's worth, the 2021-2022 FAQs state that "All Grade 3 families will receive letters the week of March 28, 2022, communicating the results of the central review and the lottery" so I would think that everyone gets a letter and the letter will tell everyone whether their student was in the pool and, if in the pool, whether they won the lottery. But this is MCPS after all, so who knows whether they will actually follow their own FAQs.

Everyone will get a letter because those not in the pool have the right to appeal the decision. MCPS has an entire appeals process. [/quote]
