I guess it is very hard to manage and keep in mind all the
possible dates and events that happen at the same time. Another same day event
is the FTC at Charlottesville. Somebody forgot that many people involved in
FLL, are also part of FTC or FRC. Maybe, one more thing to consider for next
year.

Good

Swayne, VA/DC FLL's Executive Director, is in touch with the admissions
director at TJHSST to help work towards a solution. If your team is
impacted by this situation, please send a note off the list with your team's

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Thomas Jefferson (TJHSST) Exam on Dec. 6th
Hello,
I
am wanting to get some feedback as well as provide some feedback to those
teams/parents in the Northern Virginia area with 8th graders that are
signed up to take the TJ Exam on Dec. 6th and headed to the State Tournament
during that same weekend.
Phil
Smith had announced at the Sterling 2 awards ceremony that VA/DC FLL had
become aware that the test date is during the morning of the 1st tournament
day, and that FLL would do what it could to help.
I
did speak with him after the competition and shared that I would also try to
contact the TJ admissions Office.
I
have contacted Ms. Judith Howard, who heads the TJ Admissions office, to ask
about what options are available for those students that are experiencing this
date conflict. I know that it is possible to request an alternate test
date, but I'm sure that that will be difficult to get approved.
I
am wondering, out of curiosity, how many teams and also how many team
members from each team are affected by this conflict?
Also,
is your team a school-sponsored team?
This
type of feedback will be helpful for both VA/DC FLL as well as the TJ
Admissions Office to help facilitate accommodations.
Our
team is small, with 3 members, but 2 out of the 3 are sitting for the Exam.
We
are not a school-sponsored team, per se.
Please
would you post a response, giving the above info, if you are dealing
with this same issue?
I
will also let you know as I hear back from Ms. Howard.
Thanks
very much!
