Public Middle School webinar

The middle school application process can feel overwhelming, but don't worry—you’re not alone!

In this talk, Dana will walk you through the basics of the admissions process, timelines, and how to approach your decisions, along with some helpful advice for parents navigating this new chapter. Plus, she'll cover the recent middle school admissions updates from the DOE and how they might affect your choices. She focuses on the big picture rather than specific schools, so what she shares will be useful no matter where you live.

You will come away prepared for the journey, feeling good about how to strategize the best choices for your family.

Tickets here. $25 for Park Slope Parent Members, $35 for non-members

5/6/24 Intro to Middle School

The middle school application process is famously horrible. It is your first real step into choice at a time when you are also beginning to worry about sex, drugs and rock & roll. It is not that bad. I am here to talk you down, untangle the spaghetti of options (district, borough-wide, city-wide, school based applications, audition programs and charters). I will also explain how these years are a different kind of place than elementary. There is a reason that they stopped calling it "Junior High School".
