Question, any other SRs going to San Antonio for MA? I was informed by another mother on her that her SR said that they are keeping them in GL for 2 weeks before sending them to San Antonio. My SR hasn't said anything about his so I am wondering if anyone else heard the same from their SR.
Thanks in advance!
My SR is going to San Antonio for MA and he didn't say anything to me either, I wonder if it will be in his letter this week. I did here that only 3 guests were going to be allowed at graduation per my SR in his last letter. Has anyone else heard the same thing??
See well what I was told was what is on the website is what goes and it still says 4 guest but maybe they just haven't updated it. I really hope my SR lets me know something soon! I'm getting anxious.
My SR said the same thing when I got my call but no one else has heard this. I have been trying to find something out about this but the Admin. said that if it was set at 4 it would stay at 4. Not sure what to think?
Oh no, really!? Did your SR tell you this? Well hopefully the letters keep coming! That'll keep me sane, haha :D
