DD is at the Humanities. She's a bit lukewarm on the experience. Actually lukewarm might be more positive than I'm hearing. Any updates on your DC? Good, bad? Please tell me it gets better after week 1.

It can be tied to specific scholarships at public universities in some states.

Definitely check with your school admin-they have a way to look students up in the system and see their status. Replies are due by Monday!

Unbelievable that VDOE continues to screw up notifications.

DD also never got the email. She reached out to her counselor who looked up a status report of some sort for the school. Apparently she has been accepted into the Performing Arts
Program. The counselor will try to chase down the issue with DD’s email notification tomorrow.
