I really don't want that. I'm a pretty private person and don't want my neighbors having that info or other parents judging our house/yard/car.



Yard signs for current students was a thing during lockdown.

But admissions? Ew.


some schools definitely did it
My neighbor had a "future grasshopper" or some such thing from GDS in their yard.

No yard sign. No admission. No exceptions.

Do you already have your calling list?


No, I don't have my calling list. I won't get it until Friday at 7 -- they don't want to risk any leaks!

Mainstream private discussed a lot here.

All of our phone calls to upper school students are made on Friday and we make calls to parents over the weekend. We mailed packets this morning.

Me again. We mail packets tomorrow (Thursday) morning, not today.

Do schools really put signs in people’s yards just for acceptances? I would not want that!

Or planning signs in yard on Friday/the weekend? Will current parents make welcome calls this weekend? Spill the beans about which school and what the plan is, please. Nosy and anxious people want to know.
