Secondary School Decision Time
	Accept When a student has been offered the opportunity to join a school, and is excited to attend, sign and complete the enrollment agreement and return it with a deposit promptly. Decline an Offer of Acceptance If a student is accepted but decides to go elsewhere, it is considerate to write a prompt and gracious thank you note to the Director of Admissions. The note should thank them for their offer but inform them you have decided to go elsewhere. (Let them know where you will be attending in the Fall.) Keep in mind there are likely many students on a waitlist eager for your spot!   Waitlist Students who are placed on a waitlist for their first choice school should follow the instructions from the school regarding the procedures for remaining an active and interested candidate. It is appropriate to write a brief note to the Director of Admissions emphasizing your desire to either remain on the waitlist or be removed. If you choose to remain on a waitlist, but have to make a decision on other schools that have accepted you, speak with the school immediately to work through the appropriate means of informing all parties of your desires.
