It's t-day, or transfer application day.
Letters will go out today to parents letting them know their child's assignment for the 2009-10 school year. You can also begin filing transfer requests today. (The form should be online at some point.)
The letters could come as a rude shock to the nearly 1,200 students who are being sent to a year-round school or modified-calendar school after previously not giving their consent. These are the folks who didn't successfully apply in February for a seat at a traditional-calendar school or magnet school.
In addition to transfer requests from the former opt-out students, Wake could see a spike caused by people reacting to the three-year reassignment plan that was adopted in February.

Year Round School Calendar
Sat, 05/16/2009 - 06:11 — accioWhat I found interesting/strange was that in our letter which came home yesterday, we only received a copy of the traditional school calendar for 2009-2010, even though we are going to YR for the first time in July.
Is it typical that only the traditional calendar gets sent home with the letter or was it just an oversight in our case? While I know when our YR track starts and I know how to get a copy of the YR school calendar at http://www.wcpss.net/Calendars/2009-10/09-10-year-round.pdf, I hope others new to YR have a way of getting this information too.
I thought the same thing
