If the child will apply for a seat in the high school program, parents should attend the 9th grade Open-House. If the child will apply for a seat in the 7th grade, parents should attend the 7th grade Open-House. No reservations are required. a test is then required. After the test, the school chooses the students that passed the test and these students will receive an interview letter. After the interview, you will get the final notice about whether or not you have been accepted. Students who had 2's on their report card or a 3 on any 5th grade state test may be given a letter that requires them to attend the Bridge Program before the school year begins.
