2018-19 Magnet Season Tours and Magnet Nights

Yep, it’s nearly that time. Let’s wax nostalgic as when we hit 2019, my youngest graduates high school. But fear not we’re happy to post magnet tours in *THIS* post (simply post your magnet tours & magnet nights in the comments and we’ll get them into the main post).

NorthEast, NorthWest, South, East and West, Magnet Nights are an easy way to visit multiple magnets in one location in one night. The link to that list is here.

And if you’d like to see the new magnet programs opening up in 2018-19, visit here.

Magnet season officially runs from Monday, October 2nd through Thursday, November 9th. But tours have started already, as have some school magnet nights. Also look to see about Magnet Open Houses, as some schools have started having weekend or evening open houses to get an even better idea of the school climate.

Please make sure any magnet you choose has transportation if that is important to you!

Post Your Magnet Acceptance/Rejection Points Here 2017-18

This is the thread to give a little happy dance or commiserate with others.

Please post the school, your child’s ethnicity, grade level, and point total, and whether they were accepted or waitlisted. This becomes part of the historical record to help parents predict the future likelihood of acceptance for kids.

Thank you!

SAS Applications Open 3/1 to 3/30 for 2017-2018

For more information, including the list of schools and the application itself, visit http://achieve.lausd.net/Page/2033

Notification will be April 21, with the deadline of April 28, so the ‘season’ will be fast upon us. Hopefully, with this move, there will be less squatting on magnet spots waiting for SAS results.

Magnet Tours and Meet the Magnet Nights for 2017-2018

Magnet season is nearly here. The eCHOICES Application opens on Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2016 with a deadline of Thursday, Nov. 10, 2016. Meet the Magnets nights usually do not require reservations.

As We Head into Magnet Season

Here’s an article from the LA Times on some of the leading magnets: http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-edu-magnet-test-scores-2016/

This list will come in handy when comparing with the e-choices site later this fall.

Schools with Openings 2016-17

I’ve been informed that school starts in just a few weeks. Feel free to post SAS/magnet/neighborhood schools with openings–and the specifics of grade levels, and contact information. Help prevent split grade classrooms and help families find the right schools.

Happy end of summer. ❤

Magnets with Space Available 2016-17? Post here!

Until the 2016-17 space available list posts (and I will link it here), if you are a principal, magnet coordinator, or involved parent, feel free to share magnet openings in this thread.

Please post the school, the city, and any other pertinent information.

Let’s help parents find available magnets and fill those spots in each school.
