Yes, it is a mistake - The sent out an email to everyone who applied and they haven't done the TAG lottery yet. Results should be sent out on Friday.

I just attempted to transfer my non-TAG child to this new school, but SchoolMax doesn't have anymore seats for the grade my youngest will be in. Am I out of luck with being able to transfer him? Or is there any way possible to make a transfer happen without moving. I'm just trying to 1) get the best environment for my youngest who's currently struggling and 2) not have multiple schools to deal with (I have 3 kids, each in school).


Which TAG school? If it is Capitol Heights email the TAG coordinator and Principal. How do you know you got a TAG placement? The emails they sent last week were incorrect. Three kids at three schools is a pain!
