I received the following information regarding application to the NYC Public Schools. There have been a lot of questions so I wanted you to see the actual wording that was sent to me.
Updates in MySchools
You can now see your current 8th grade and/or 9th grade students in the school-facing MySchools site, school.myschools.nyc. However, the high school admissions process for the current school year has not yet opened. Please do not distribute account creation codes (PINs) or Welcome Letters for students until later in the fall, after we have notified you that the admissions process has opened.
High School Admissions Timeline
COVID-19 has had a profound impact across every aspect of our school system, including the admissions process. As a result, we’re updating our pre-pandemic admissions timeline to ensure ample time for families to explore schools and apply once the application launches. Please note:
The high school application is not yet open, and no longer closes on December 4, 2020. Families and school staff will have additional time to apply.
Registration for the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) and LaGuardia High School auditions are not yet open, and no longer close on October 21, 2020. Families and school staff will have additional time to register.
Dates and locations for the high school fairs, the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT), and LaGuardia High School auditions—as listed in the 2021 NYC High School and Specialized High Schools Admissions Guide—will also change.
We appreciate your patience and will be in touch with more detailed information and timelines as soon as we can. Here’s what families and school staff can do now:
