MARCH NEWSLETTER
No OTM awards yet unfortunately, but there are a few notices and things to talk to you about. <3
TERM CHANGE
It's now term change, yay! All of the groups have been changed as well as many other updates, but there's still approximately 20 hrs of work to be done, so just have patience with us as we complete all the things. <3
If your character just graduated, there is a Job Sign-Ups thread that will be up for the duration of the summer. If you want to change a job, you also can post there (though you also can change your job at any point if you PM me - but make sure your character has the credentials or experience for it <3).

NEXT TERM
As most of you should know (it's also in the Daily Prophet under 'Beauxbatons Shuns Firenze'), we are having the Dodecawizard Tournament again. If you weren't here last time, it's like the Triwizard, except with 2 Champions from each school and 6 participating schools. At the moment, it is Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, Xanadu (China) & Salem (USA) for sure and the last school will either be Augustine (Australia) or Dahshur (Egypt) - whichever one has the most amount of students when September hits.
This term, I want it to be not quite just about the Tasks and the Yule Ball, so I'd like to do the Weighing of the Wands, if the Champions are game, as well as some Daily Prophet articles interviewing them. But there are also many other Daily Prophet articles to do, so if you'd like to help this happen (and also play or NPC the wandmaker for the Weighing of the Wands), please PM me. <3
! IMPORTANT FOR HOGWARTS STUDENTS ! Next term, two big changes will happen to Hogwarts. First of all, ALL of the sixth and seventh years will be at Beauxbatons for the Tournament (which means that professors only have to post a 1-2 year lesson and a 3-5 year lesson (or just 3-5 if you teach an elective class) - Alchemy will not be running). Because any fifth years who's birthday falls between September 1st - October 31st are of age for the Tournament, they will be allowed to attend Beauxbatons only if they intend on entering the Tournament. They will have to stay at Beauxbatons for the year even if they don't get chosen after the decision to attend Beauxbatons for the term has been decided, however. If you have a fifth year who can and wants to do this, PM me. <3
Please note that the schools won't arrive 'til the end of October, so all sixth and seventh year Hogwarts students can roleplay in Hogwarts for September - October. (: But after that, they may not roleplay in Hogwarts anymore and must post in Beauxbatons.
The second big change is something that will be announced in the Daily Prophet as it's a big plot point. I'll post an announcement about it too, when it's time, to explain a little more about it than what can be written in the Daily Prophet.
