First, Happy Papa's Day, Dads -- hope your families are treating you well, soggy weather notwithstanding.

On the g+t front, one commenter to the blog either got a letter today, Sunday, or found one in her mailbox that might have been left there yesterday. Another commenter was grateful for the kindness of neighbors (pace, Tennessee Williams), when a friend from her old building found a DOE letter with her address. This gives rise to an urgent question: If a family doesn't receive a letter, or if the hand-delivery goes awry (as above), who should be contacted? We are waiting for direct instruction and specific contact information from the DOE, and hope that very few readers will actually need it.

We're also curious as to why the letters were hand-delivered, and -- of course -- have asked for amplification. We'll report what we learn; in the meanwhile, please keep in touch, as we and parents citywide are grateful for on-the-ground reports, as they come in.

District 1 parents waiting for lottery outcomes, we've heard that letters went out this weekend. Perhaps someone's had news already? If so, let us know.

District 2, still in the land o' waiting limbo. We'll report more as we learn it.
