Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Waiting for DYS letter

Our city probably has one of the largest concentrations of DYSs in the country and we rarely have more than half a dozen children in any particular age group. We are an extremely active group so our kids have many opportunities to spend time with their peers but that is probably the exception more than the rule for most areas. Being a DYS at least opens the door to more opportunties for social interaction with peers.

Good luck, Moni! I hope you hear from them soon. I've justed started my wait with the July 15th cut-off. I just recently found this board and you guys have so much information- it's been helpful to read about all of your experiences!

Good luck to you, too, Ruby, and welcome. And good luck to Moni and everyone else.

Thanks for the best wishes Ruby and questions. Good luck to you too Ruby.

Does the DYS letter fall into the "thick" verses "thin" category, like college acceptance letters? I thought there would be years to go until I had to worry about that kind of thing!!
LOL!!

Here is hoping for a "thick" envelope for both of you, Moni and Ruby!

Just don't expect a big manilla envelope, like I did. The acceptance letter is just a business envelope! You might be disappointed with what you see at the mailbox when what's inside is actually happy news!

Thanks for that ebeth. There hasn't been any envelope yet I'm afraid. I too would have expected a big envelope Kriston...thanks for the heads up.
I hope I get something by Friday...I'm going on vacation Sat.

Still no news?

Finally some news to share. Good news...DS7 was accepted into the DYS program! The letter was sent on the 16th of July and I went on vacation on the 19th-27th and got my mail yesterday. Had to wait the extra week but it was worth it.
Yippppeee!

Congratulations, Moni! So happy to hear the good news.
