High School Information

 

Good Morning Parents, 

We hope everyone is doing well.  As you are aware, the window for submitting High School applications closes on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2021. To answer any of your questions, and offer some guidance into applying for a High School, we will be hosting 3 Zoom Parent Workshops this coming week.We encourage you to attend a session if you still have any questions/concerns. We will have Guidance Counselors on hand, and translation available. You only have to attend 1 one session/workshop.  All presentations will be recorded, and we will have a link posted for them on our website for playback if you are unable to attend any of the sessions. We look forward to seeing you next week.

Best,
Mr. Troy

HIGH SCHOOL APPLICATION INFO

High School Admissions Now Open

High School applications are open. The application deadline is February 23rd.  Attached is a one-pager on the process this year. Families can apply one of three ways: online with MySchools, through their child’s current school counselor, or through a Family Welcome Center. Below are some more details-- families and schools have already received this information, but please share through your networks. Attached are some one-pagers to share as needed (with translations). Please also encourage families to sign up for the audition fairs next week (virtual events flyer attached). 

 

1. Log in to your MySchools.nyc account. You will use MySchools, the DOE’s online directory and application system, to explore high schools and apply. To get started, watch the “How to Create Your MySchools Account” tutorial.  

2. Learn about high schools and programs—watch the “Exploring High Schools” video to learn how.  

  • Use MySchools to search for programs based on your child’s interests, location, and more. Find out if high schools are hosting virtual open houses or offering resources for prospective families by visiting schools’ websites or contacting them directly.   

  • On each program’s MySchools page, check how they make offers and if your child needs to complete any additional steps; for instance, some programs require a virtual audition.   

  • Read our newly updated digital High School Admissions Guide: learn about students’ chances to get offers to specific programs and how to build a balanced application.    

  • Add 12 program choices to your child’s application in MySchools. List these choices in your true order of preference, with your first-choice program at the top as #1.   

  • The eight testing Specialized High Schools and LaGuardia High School use a separate admissions process (you cannot list these schools on your child’s application). To participate, register by January 28 to take the SHSAT and/or register by February 23 to audition for LaGuardia High School. Learn more at schools.nyc.gov/SHS.   

3. Submit your application by the February 23 deadline.
