<p>Hello readers far and near!</p>
<p>Our office will be closing up this afternoon until after January 2. While I'm slightly addicted to this forum, I'm going to try hard to detox until then myself. </p>
<p>Our staff has been frantically opening mail and trying to get it all logged into our system, so if you have applied, check the online status of your application on Banner Web and know that mail received up through the end of day on Thursday 12/20/07 has been entered on Banner Web. </p>
<p>If you check your status and something isn't there that you believe should be, please be patient with us. We will work through any challenges with credentials in January. We don't want to think about scores of students and parents out there over the holidays in panic-mode. We promise--it will be fixed when we're back! And no one will hold you responsible for things that weren't your fault--if it's lost in the mail--sooner or later we'll get it all straight. Really, we're going to work with you. </p>
<p>So try to relax, enjoy a bit of peace, love and understanding! College admission will take care of itself and this time next year you will all be celebrating the end of your exams at a wonderful school (even if it isn't the one you are dreaming of right now!). </p>
<p>Peace--</p>
