Magnet Acceptance Letters Available Online NOW

LAUSD 2013-14 Magnet Acceptance/Wait List letters are available online here.  School resumes tomorrow after a week break, so if you’ve been wait listed, be patient before calling to find your number on the wait list.

School Choice Survey

So did anyone else get the short survey for LAUSD school choice? It came by email, and my husband forwarded it to me, but I had to giggle. Maybe Dr. Deasy can read this blog and he’ll know they have a lot of work to do in helping educate families on how schools of choice, magnet, open enrollment and SAS programs work. As for the question on whether I’d prefer a small learning community or a traditional high school for my child, it will take a while to know–she’s eleven.

The questions were all close ended, meaning there was no way to answer except the choices they gave.

To be fair, they’re asking questions, and that must be celebrated. This will be the survey I am most eager to see the results.

2012-13 Magnet Dates

Please use the comments in this post to advertise the dates for tours and magnet nights for the 2012-13 years. Magnet brochures should be available online at http://echoices.lausd.net/ on November 1st. They will be due Friday, December 16th. And Sepulveda has announced the middle school magnet night for Wednesday November 2nd, from 6 to 8 pm. As soon as Monroe posts their Meet the Magnets night, I will list it.
