[quote=Anonymous]We never extend either, but if we did, I would probably ask on the later side, around 9m. We have had 6APs, and every one of them has been good to excellent, but performance consistently starts to slide a bit in the last few months (summer for us), so I wouldn't ask too early and I would tie my offer with continued performance expectations. (like previous PP, we match in Feb for Aug arrival, but I personally would not feel comfortable offering and extension in January- only 4m into APs year. It's barely the end of the honeymoon phase...). Have you introduced the topic to AP yet? Do some of you discuss extension possibility during matching? Does AP have some expectations about staying longer? Since we don't extend, I write it in our dear AP letter and I discuss it explicitly before matching. I am wondering how families who are open to extension deal with this. Do you day upfront that you are open to extending? Is it super awkward if you decide not to?[/quote]
