<p>In our school this issue would more likely be dealt with by the guidance office. If I were you I’d go in and say “I don’t want to be a nag, I know this is a busy time of year, but could you tell me how long it will before a decision is made?” I’ve also had good luck going to the principal directly (in elementary school where I knew the principal, not in high school where I wouldn’t feel comfortable with this approach.) I’d tell her I didn’t need to see her now, but just wanted to know when I should come back. Nine times out of ten, she was willing to see me then and there if I was standing in the office.</p>
