Admissions Catch-Up
With news reaching parents on g+t kindergarten placement and middle schools, some of the furor of the past week or so seems to have fizzled. But confusion persists in some quarters -- the News reported that some students have gotten letters meant for other children, and we've heard that up to 50 rising 6th graders at Manhattan's coveted Anderson School received middle school placements at other schools-- even though they didn't apply for seats outside their home school, which continues to grade 8.
We're hoping for follow-ups from the DOE today on lotteries in Districts 1 and 3 -- and for additional illumination on the District 15 middle school placements, where overwhelming demand appears to have cost some students their first-round seats (or seats at the schools of their choice). It's great news that so many strong, local schools generate such robust demand -- but worrisome that the same schools can't absorb the entirely predictable flow of in-district fifth-graders seeking seats.

What news helen? nobody I knows anything about g&T K yet. All week you have been hinting and people have suffer stress only to find out no body got any news on K.
Has anyone received a K placement for G&T yet? i thought they still weren't out?
We haven't gotten any news about Kindergarten G&T in District 15.
Helen-
There is a poster on the forums who says she was told by Nikki Rosen that placements wouldn't be mailed until Friday. Can you please confirm one way or the other? That definitely contradicts the "news this week" info from the DOE. We are all going crazy here. It is "graduation" from pre-K and my child is the only one who doesn't know where he is going next year! It makes separation from pre-school that much harder for him when he doesn't have something specific to look forward to like other kids. thanks
No G&T placement of 1st Grade placement in Queens in mail yet this morning. Since DOE website now says on its toppage, "All families will receive placement letters this week," I would assume that they are pretty much done with preparation to send out the letters, and actually send them out by mid-week (maybe today?), so that everybody will receive it by the end of this week...I really hope we will get it tomorrow.
The G&T don't appear to be out and all of our e mails to DOE go unanswered. Is there not an actual individual assigned to this at OSEPO whom we can speak with to avoid a catastrophy before the actual notice comes out? We are in District 22
My child has not received a middle school acceptance letter but better yet the school dosen't know anything either??? So, I'm stuck with an upset child who instead of enjoying the last few days of school crys to sleep.
No G&T Kindergarten letter in District 2. Ugh ugh UGH.
We are waiting for news for 3rd grade G & T for citywide and D2. Should it be included with the early June placements?
Nope, nothing for kindy g/t in mail. I wasn't going to officially freak out until week's end!!
