Get Out Your Admissions Calendar

This is a list of suggestions and strategies for organizing around
and even “interpreting” admissions deadlines and for every school
level: nursery school, public Pre-K, private school (K or middle years), public
school (K, G & T, and middle school).  —It’s helpful because not all
deadlines are true deadlines (sometimes you have to get those applications in
early or they won’t accept them), and more generally the admissions processes
are getting a bit complicated so it pays to get organized sooner than later. Click here for our crib notes on
admissions deadlines and guidelines.

the myths and realities of local school admissions.)
