Just two days before the end of the school year, many students and their families are still waiting to find out where they will be attending school in September.

High school appeal decisions are coming out today, according to the Department of Education. Eighth and 9th-grade students who were unhappy with the match they got in either the first or second round of high school admissions, or who may have moved far away from the high school to which they have been assigned,  had the right to appeal the match. Those who appealed should be able to get their decision letters at school today.

In districts which offer middle school choice, 5th-graders could also appeal their matches. According to a DOE spokesperson, those results will be out "by Monday at the latest." With school ending on Tuesday, that news can't come soon enough.

And for elementary school, today is the last day to register for gifted & talented programs for students who got offers this week. Meanwhile, there are children on waitlists for kindergarten at their zoned schools who are hoping to hear that spots have opened up for them because other students have accepted placement in G&T programs. Waitlisted children were given alternative kindergarten offers in late May, but many are still hoping for a seats in their neighborhood schools, preferring not to send their child to a school far from home.

We've asked the DOE for the latest list of schools that still have zoned students on waitlists, and will post it when we get it.

Was your appeal granted? Is there still a waitlist at your school?
