I'll be one of the speakers at a workshop at New York University, Tuesday, June 5, from 12 to 1:30 p.m. to help parents figure out their elementary school options. The event at the Kimmel Center, 60 Washington Square South, Room, 803, is designed for NYU staff, but others may come as well. Maggie Moroff from Advocates for Children will talk about special education and Terri Decker of Smart City Kids will talk about gifted programs.

The workshop is free, but you must register: http://www.nyu.edu/rsvp/event.php?e_id=4192.Call 212-998-9085 for more information

We'll give you information about how to register your child, how to apply to schools outside your zone, and what you should look for on school visits. There will be time for questions and answers as well.

Can't come? Look at our pages on how to apply to elementary school and our YouTube video on what to look for in an elementary school.
