Dear Families:

 

We hope you’re having a great end to your school year!

 

This fall, your child will begin eighth grade and participate in the high school admissions process. To help your family prepare, we’re excited to invite you to a live, virtual information session this summer.

 

We’ll cover the basics of applying to high school and share tips on how you can begin getting ready before the high school application opens. We’ll also take time to answer questions from attendees. All sessions will include the same information, so there’s no need to attend more than one.

  • Tuesday, July 8 | 5pm to 6pm. Event in English. Interpretation provided in Bangla, Chinese (Mandarin), Russian, and American Sign Language (ASL)
