<p>Fenwaysouth,</p>
<p>Your son received his notification of acceptance just prior to the December graduation and winter shutdown. With the exception of Housing, most of the departments were either closed or operating on a reduced schedule until Jan 22 when classes resumed.</p>
<p>In addition to the communications mentioned in the responses by KandKsmom and Sevmom, if your son becomes part of the Galileo community, you will receive an approximately monthly newsletter from one of the Engineering faculty. There also is a Parent E-Newsletter that is sent via e-mail monthly.</p>
<p>About the time that the RD acceptance notices are released, your son will see an increase in the number of e-mails. There will be invitations to the Spring Open House and Hokie Camp and your son will need to register for Freshman Orientation. There are numerous communications regarding housing. </p>
<p>Right now, your son should be confirming that his HS submitted his final first semester grades. When my son was a senior, his grades were due in late January. </p>
<p>Congratulations to you and your son on his early decision acceptance to the College of Engineering!</p>
