Moves a ton for AT. Usually moves very little to none for HB.

Yep. You’ll get in to tech but not HB most likely.

Grapevine. My kid's year the news spread quickly at school amongst the kids. Even the staff knew lol. I know this because my kid got in, and some random staff member came up to me and told me she thought HB would be a good fit for him!

By Monday, your kid will know. There’s no announcement, it’s a grapevine thing.

We’re 24 for 6th HB.

Wasn’t on fire for it. Was suggested our kid was a good fit for it though. May try for 9th if they want.
