APPLICATION INFORMATION

The middle school application is now OPEN on MySchools. The deadline to apply is March 1, 2022.

Public school families should reach out to their elementary guidance counselor or school staff for help accessing their MySchools accounts.
Private/independent school families should visit the Family Welcome Center to set up a MySchools account.

ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

The pause on academic screens will continue for students entering middle school in Fall 2022. The DOE “open” admissions method uses random selection to match applicants with available seats. There will be no admissions test for those entering middle school during the 2022-2023 school year.

Further admissions updates, info sessions and details can be found at DOE Middle School Enrollment.

OPEN HOUSES

All events will be held virtually over Zoom. Zoom meeting links will be sent the DAY BEFORE the scheduled event. There will be no in-person events or tours this year.
