LIFE AFTER LEVINE The Road to High School
PUBLIC SCHOOL PROCESS Make sure your child knows that public school is a wonderful option.
Call the administrative office of the public high school in your school district, after winter break in January, to get a hard copy of the school course schedule. It is also available online at the high school’s website . Also, many schools offer complete course schedule, books and registration online. Inquire about the registration process, a visit with the counselor, and a tour of the school. Be sure to ask what legal documents and health forms are necessary for registration. You may wish to have some of these forms with you at the meeting with a counselor. Items to discuss include:
Registration packet Course Schedules
Four-Year Plan
Special Programs (honors, yearbook, etc.) Electives Athletics Band/Choir Extracurricular Activities School Clubs and Organizations College Counseling Resources School Tour School Visitation
Schedule meetings during mid to late spring with the Counselor, Assistant Principal and the Principal, for the purpose of establishing a connection between the school and your family.
If necessary, parents should deliver teacher recommendation forms and résumé to Shirley Green. Remember, there is a three-week turnaround time after the applications and résumé have been received. Students who are applying to special programs, such as International Baccalaureate and other public school magnet programs, should schedule an interview time with Mr. Elieff. Students must contact Judy Glazer for scheduling. This is an essential part of the process. Note: Many schools have spring and summer programs and practices, for rising 9 th graders, in athletics, band, choir, cheerleading, dance team, etc. There may also be special application procedures for programs such as newspaper and yearbook. Please inquire about requirements and establish communication with the directors/advisors of these programs.
