Review upcoming enrollment activities
- Need to make updates to parent contact list before making offers and giving to prospective families. Need more current families on list.
- Ice cream social on Tuesday, May 19th, from 405pm. Need to ask PPCC to come to mingle and find faculty to scoop ice cream.
- How are families engage with offers -> is this indication of actually showing up. How can we collect more data with regards to families changing mind last minute or ghosting.
- Overall lower energy around enrollment this year. Less interaction with social media. Should create new social media for next fall. Continue postcards.
- This year 339 prospects yielded 275 applications. Should that be higher? Are there efforts we can make to increase yield?

Documents used during the meeting
None
Trying to determine how many offers to make based on past acceptance rates. Last year:
7th grade - 95, 8th - 10, and 9th - 10. Discussed making more 7th grade offers than last year. Consider making 100-105 offers for 7th grade and 10 for 9th. Likely no room for new 8th graders due to large current 7th grade class.
