High school admissions counselors and school representatives will be available at the session to speak with students and families about their high school options. For those who can't make it, additional information about the high school admissions process can be found on the DOE's website at http://schools.nyc.gov/ChoicesEnrollment/High/Admissions/default.htm .
If you or anyone you know has any questions or concerns about this or any other school-related matter, please feel free to e-mail us at speakerquinn@council.nyc.gov .
