[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it sounds like letters will be going out to provide the results of the lottery. But was there any prior communication to let parents know if a child made it pass the central review and placed into the lottery?[/quote]

No, you find out with the lottery letter. That's one of the things that's frustrating - if you were mistakenly not placed in the lottery, you can appeal it and get placed on the waitlist, but it's a lot harder for you to get a spot at that point. Would be nice to be able to appeal and have that settled before the lottery.[/quote]

DP - it would also be nice to be able to express preference for a given program.  My DD meets criteria (by grades and MAP scores) for both the math/science and humanities magnets, but has no interest in the latter.  Seems like a waste to even consider her for it; god forbid the system take student interest into account.  [/quote]

Just make sure you don’t accept a seat in a program she has no interest in. Another kid will move off the waitlist.[/quote]

If your child gets accepted to humanities and not math, go ahead Put them in the humanities prgm even if they are  not interested…middle schoolers interest change over time….. And if they are not interested down the road they can always move back to their home middle school.[/quote]

I second this. If it was us…we would accept it in a heart beat bc our home middle school has no real enrichment and at this point any enrichment is better than no enrichment.[/quote]
