Intro to Middle School Talk
Navigating Middle School Choice
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. Dana is here to talk you down, untangle the spaghetti of options (district, borough-wide, city-wide, school based applications, audition programs and charters). She 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".
This talk is about general admissions procedures and timelines and how to think about making your choices as well as some sage parenting advice about handling the changes. I won't be talking about specific schools and so it will apply, no matter what district you live in.
