The Department of Education announced that open houses scheduled for this Wednesday, Feb. 10 for students accepted at specialized high schools, will be postponed until Feb. 22 because of predicted "inclement weather". The forecast calls for ice and snow on Wednesday.
Students must turn in their acceptances by Feb. 23 -- the day after the rescheduled open houses at several of the specialized high schools; no word that the acceptance date will be postponed.
The affected schools are:
- The Brooklyn Latin School - 325 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn: 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm
- Brooklyn Technical High School - 29 Fort Greene Place, Brooklyn: 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm

- Stuyvesant High School - 345 Chambers Street, Manhattan: 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Open houses scheduled for other specialized schools on Tuesday and Thursday will proceed as scheduled!
Many other new high schools are holding open houses this week. Check the new schools directory and call or email the school directly to find out when.
