This workshop is for 6^th & 7^th grade parents and is intended to increase their knowledge about, and minimize the stress that is associated with, the high school application process. The 7^th grade parents will understand that they are required and must be prepared to complete an application by November of their 8^th grade. The citywide and borough high school fairs, Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) and the advantages of remaining at Queens Gateway will also be discussed. The 6^th grade parents will have the additional opportunity to receive information and prepare in advance of their application year.
