Sound like they intend to send them out April 8 (tomorrow), but the "or later" is to cover themselves for any more unforseen delays.

They shouldn't have published such a specific timeline if there was any likelihood they were going to miss their own published dates. "Early April", "Week of April 5", "By mid April", are all much better than the April 5 and April 6 dates they announced.

Thanks to those that are providing the updates on what they've heard so far from their AARTs. Looks like maybe tomorrow or possibly even after.... at least we now know something.

My AART said April 8 or later as well. Complete BS!

haha..too funny. There is one part of me who wants that but I know benefits of AAP programs. So hope not.

Since it's already end of Apr 6th, I think they have been mailed and we should get them sometime this week. Some people might get them tomorrow if they started mailing on Monday.

So what are the benefits of AAP? Can you elaborate please, I want to know in detail.

They're not going to admit it, but moms on here want their kids in AAP because there are more white and Asian kids, fewer black and hispanic kids.

Huh??

DP. Meaning "they're not that concerned with the advanced level of academics, they just don't want their kids going to school with Black kids". It's not most of them, but you're kidding yourself if you don't understand there are at least a few of these.

I guess that’s why you’re here reading these post. Such ignorance!! People like you create more problems.

It's funny - every time I come on here and talk about something applying to a few people, folks assume I'm referring to all of them. People on this forum literally can't stop telling on themselves. Yes, SOME parents seeking to get to AAP are doing so because of motivations that are racist in nature. Not ALL, not MOST, but SOME.

On your earlier post you said “moms on here”, not some not a few. Please take a look at yourself and not post racist comments or stereotypes.

My hunch (only based on what I am seeing on this post), emails will be sent towards the end of the day. Right before the weekend.

I would not doubt this is true, probably because with virtual school so many parents have seen how pathetically low the typical classroom curriculum is and have decided their kids need more challenging work.

Not sure how virtual learning correlates with "more" students applying this year. This by itself is flawed. The only official test taken and supported by empirical data is the NNAT. If kids didn't score 132 or higher, they aren't part of the pool. Sure, parents can still submit a referral but without letters of recommendations and/or piano, chest completion results, etc., being considered by FCPS, the number of parents applying this year for level IV is a lot lower than you think.

This what I read in the email they sent for inpool in december: You will be notified of the selection committee’s decision by the middle of April, so it may be in mid of April not in beginning of April.

Eligibility decisions are sent April 5-6.

Whether by email or snail mail or carrier pigeon is not yet known.

I got a good chuckle out of this. I think it's carrier pigeon.

Ha! Carrier pigeon would be much more reliable!

My guess is, it will be Friday or even later. The least they could do is update a status on a website. So annoying.

Our AART just shared that on Monday they got an update from the central office stating that parents will be notified by Friday.

Maybe they will surprise us and email today.

Thanks for sharing! They probably get a chuckle out of this thread.

I'm not holding my breath for 4/8, either. They've had months to figure this out, how absurd that they couldn't send out the emails on time!

Did s/he say whether they would arrive by email or USPS?

There are parents whose kids are at Title I schools who see AAP as a way of moving their kids to a school with a better educational program. Title I schools have smaller class sizes but more of the kids are starting school without the benefit of Preschool or parents who have been reading, doing math, and engaging with their kids academically. Title I schools are also likely to have larger ELL programs. Houses are less expensive in those areas, some middle class people buy those houses because they can get something far larger for a far better price, and then find the schools lacking. The parents then become desperate to get their kids into AAP to change the school options because many of the kids start behind the curve and do not catch up. The middle class kids, who have been to preschool and whose parents read to them and engaged in other academic activities, are starting at a different level and do not receive a ton of attention from the Teachers because the kids are on grade level.

I know some folks who did just this. Other options are language immersion programs and magnet schools. Anything to avoid the Title I school. I know one family that sent their kid to a Title I school for K and then bought a house in a different area because they needed a larger house, the grandparents were moving in with the family, and because they wanted a better school.

There are two ways of looking at how these parents are behaving. 1) they want the best education for their kids and the local school is not providing it because of the socio-economic differences. Parents look for other options in the Public schools because private schools are expensive. The reason they bought were they did was because that was were they could afford a house in Fairfax County. 2) The parents are desperate to get away from minority kids.

I tend to lean towards the first explanation.
