Thanks, Melissa. I am also perplexed by this message because it it seems to say that HCC students from the listed reference areas will be Robert Eaglestaff students, but previous information indicated that HCC students from Whitman and the new RE-S service areas would be assigned to RE-S. And then it also includes Cascadia as one of the schools whose parents are invited, but of course Cascadia's "service area" includes kids from all across the north. Odd.

Again, the District knows what they are thinking. There's no way they are so incompetent to not be thinking. If they'd share, we'd have a lot less parents trying to figure it out.
"Parents of 6th grade middle school students who live in the areas served by the elementary schools listed above are invited to attend, as are parents of 6th grade HCC students who live in the Whitman service area." So I understand that to mean that only HCC kids at Hamilton whose live in the middle school reference area of Whitman will be moving to Robert Eagle. We are upset as our child had to joined the HCC cohort this year in 6th. Now will need to leave newly made friends (again) at Hamilton for 8th. We were hoping some of his friends would be moved with him to Robert Eagle, but none live in Whitman service area. Then he will move to another school-high school just one year later. Wish they could grandfather the 8th graders.
