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.

I just wanted to let
everyone know that we are aware of this issue and Nick 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 details to
[log in to unmask] and we will be sure to keep you apprised of the

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!
