LEARN MORE

 

Directories: A copy of printed admissions guide has been sent home with your child. 

  • As the application opens, families may learn about the admissions process on DOE website where they can both read an admissions guide and watch videos explaining the admissions process.
  • On the bottom of the DOE website, families can find the admissions guide in different languages.

Open Houses and Fairs: 

Visiting a school in person or virtually can help you learn if it may be the right place for your child. It’s also a great way to see how long the trip is from home. Check schools' MySchools pages for links to their websites, as well as for direct links to resources for prospective families, such as information about any in-person or virtual events, or video tours of the school. We recommend contacting schools directly for the most recent information, such as whether and when they will hold open houses, information sessions, and/or orientations.
