Holton calls on the day of, but its not the head of school, it's the admissions person who calls.

I think last time, we got the call mid-afternoon(ish)?

Did anybody get a notification for delivery or did it come after the acceptance notification?

I have also heard of SAES giving swag on admissions day - I believe balloons were included - can't remember if anything else. It's been several years and our child hadn't applied there.

SAES sends a swag box and follows up a few days later with balloons.

I never got a call from a GDS parent when my DC was accepted (pre-COVID)

It may vary by grade level?
We got a call for two DCs, one before and one after covid, but only after 4 p.m. on Friday. I think they may have both been over the weekend.

That’s cute. Does gds send crickets from the snake food section of the pet store?

We got a chip clip with some other Burke swag two years ago. Still have it and have to say it’s a really good sturdy chip clip! Kid is also having an excellent educational experience at Burke.

Potomac calls before 4 and sends swag

I'm not sure why, maybe it's my anxiety for Friday, but this is funny!! A chip clip. LOL

Maybe on Friday they will send the bag of chips. "You're all that and..."

LOL!

Norwood called in 2023 and also sent a welcome packet. Much more swag given later at the accepted families events

NCRC sent the most adorable welcome package.

I assume they meant they got it at an open house or something. I cannot imagine that Burke is sending chip clips in the mail.
