      Did anyone receive second round offer yet?

      Some offers should have gone live this morning, and others will tomorrow at 8 am. It is possible to receive more than one SEES offer in Round 2, so if you receive an offer from a school that is NOT your 1st choice, you should contact your preferred school to see if they have made offers yet (offers go live at 8am the day after schools actually hit the “make offer” button). For example, a student might receive an offer from Morton today, but Skinner North might be set to make an offer the next day. If you were to accept the Morton offer, you would be removed from SN’s waitlist, which would prevent you from receiving the offer you were due to receive. Also, note that Monday is a federal holiday, so that will extend your decision time within the 48 business hours deadline.

        Clarifying: If you received an offer today, the deadline is Wednesday at 8 am. If you receive an offer tomorrow, the accept/decline deadline is Thursday at 8 am.

      We got an offer as well but heard some controversial things about the principal and her aggressive pro-transgendered agenda. Not against equal rights or anything but wondering if it’s a bit much for k-2 kids…?

        What school is this? And what sort of activities fall under the umbrella of “aggressive pro-transgendered [sic] agenda” in your view?

      Bell. Maybe aggressive is not the right word but starting sex education too early, hiring a gender-neutral music teacher who shows 1st graders Lady Gaga music videos, etc.

        Sex education is part of CPS curriculum from Kindergarten now, but parents are given a lesson by lesson syllabus and an option to opt out, if you do not like it. It is very age appropriate, but you can opt out your kid, if you do not like it.

        There are a lot of schools with gender non-conforming staff, which represents our society as a whole.  Additionally, it is a protected characteristic when hiring decisions are made.

        If there is bus, it’s not that bad of a commute.

        It’s a classic school where your child gets to learn some Latin, which I think is great.

        It’s a very good school with excellent faculties and many dedicated parents.

        Very little homework assignments. Not sure if it’s a good thing but doesn’t appear to have an ill effects to the graduates moving on to academic center and high school.

        Overall a very safe place, kinda like a large daycare.

        Hi Vicky,

              No , 61. I am surprised too. Because her math was not good. And she got three classical offers.

      We got no offers round 1

      Reading 98, Math 66

      RGC 117

      kindergarten, tier 3

      received 2nd round offer Bronzeville Classical (accepted) Sat 6/18

      I thought once you accept a SEES, you are no longer on SEES waitlist?

      Just received call from NTA Regional Gifted today with offer, so I guess that’s not the case

      I believe in the second round you can get more than one offer. Are you considering NTA?

      Does anyone know if you can decline an offer accepted in the first round to be put on the waitlist for the other SEES schools you selected? Or are you already removed from the list.

      likely sticking with Bronzeville.  Really like the principal there & good current parent feedback.

      I never got a chance to tour NTA or get much parent feedback.  There is a little part of me that is questioning switching.  I wish I had a better grasp on the classical vs regional gifted.  Any insight / advice greatly appreciated.  I have until Tuesday am

        RGC are supposed to teach 2 yrs ahead vs Classical 1 year ahead but it all depends on the school and parental involvement. BCS is what I would call a public private school.  Great parent support with administration and staff. They also fund raise for anything additional they not need but want.

        turning down BCS ? Is that due to travel or unsure about the school because its new?

          Hi, due to travel. We are northsiders and applied to keep all options possible, but now we have secured a spot at a local school (non SES but very good option) and BCS would be a very long commute…

      Did anyone get any information about Bronzeville when they received an offer, particularly after first round? I got a robocall  on Saturday and email, but no messaging from the school yet.

      Hello! Has anyone received offers from Alcott, Inter-american or Tubman for Kinder? If so, would you mind sharing your WL number? Curious to see where we might be given our WL haven’t moved since mid-May despite getting offers. Thanks!

        The WL numbers aren’t updating. Schools are just moving down the list and stay the same. If you email OAE, they can tell you your true number.

        I don’t think Alcott has made any offers (they probably are full just from neighborhood kids), and you’d have a better shot at any dual language program if you’re on the Spanish-speaking list.

      Son currently attending Decatur and received an offer from Beaubien RGC for 4th grade. Is it worth the switch? Any insights into curriculum advancement at Beaubien? Is it 1 grade level or 2 grade levels? Thank you!
