For all the parents, who are waiting with anxiety, would not it be nice if the same services were available in the home school so that your kids did not have to go through this nervewracking experience?

Plan to show up at the GT forum on March 22 at Magruder HS. See thread http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/221871.page for details.

BTW, do not forget to post your comments and questions at GTA site [url]http://www.gtamc.org/2012-gt-forum

Last year was before spring break (which of course is not the same week every year). I called to confirm that my reply had been received and realized mid-message that is was vacation week and of course there was no one there!

Acceptance letters always came right after spring break.

I think it (acceptance) came in a full size 8 1/2x11 envelope.

I momentarily freaked out today when in the mail there was a letter from MCPS--then I saw that it was only a parent survey.

Thanks for calling and update the information

Also, hoping it actually comes before spring break starts, though I know that'd be in march. If it comes during break, many people wouldn't be home to get it right away.

LOL - thanks for calling. I guess we're no worse off than before. Still in suspense, waiting til April.

I called MCPS. There is an error on that website page. The HGC notification letters will not be sent in February, they will be sent in April, just as they always are. I was told that they are just going thru the HGC screening process now. I think they will probably correct that statement about a Februray notification on the website. So, we all can stop looking for the HGC notification until April.

Thanks for the one who posted on letter received for today (8:36am Chevy Chase).

We leave in Silver Spring. Our mails arrive at later afternoon. So, we don't need to worry for the rest of the day.

Of COURSE you are in Chevy Chase.

No letter here on Monday either (Chevy Chase).

No letter received today...

My recollection was you had longer to decide. A few weeks before the open house and then maybe another week or so. I think the deadline was right before break.

Well, no letter on Saturday, so if they are mailing in February, there is only a few days left.
