Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT)
November 2019’s testing dates are ONLY for current Grade 8 and first-time Grade 9 students who previously registered for the 2019 SHSAT by the October 10 deadline and meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Are Multilingual Learners; or

For questions regarding eligibility, please speak with a school counselor.
Elementary Admissions Events
Planning to have your child attend elementary school (Grades Pre-K–5) in fall 2020?
In early November 2019, the DOE will host info sessions for families seeking to learn more about the City’s elementary school admissions process, including Gifted & Talented programs.

That’s all for this month. We hope you have a great November!
