NOTE TO FAMILIES

Our primary focus is to help all students become better learners and to succeed academically by providing them with social and emotional support. We meet with students individually and in small groups as well as collaborating with parents and staff to best meet the needs of the entire New Voices community. We are here to support all students in promoting and modeling social and emotional learning for their well-being.

Students can access support from the Guidance Team by going to 310 and setting up time with either MS. MILLER or Ms. Bernstein. Services for ongoing group and/or individual counseling for students require referrals from parents and/or guardians. Parents can refer their child for general individual or group counseling based on presenting issues during the school day. All referrals will be evaluated by the guidance team to determine what supports would be most beneficial.

Summer 2025 High School Admissions Checklist for Families

Set Up Accounts & Stay Informed

Create a MySchools account if your child does not already have one: https://www.myschools.nyc/en/
Bookmark these websites for future updates and resources:
– NYC DOE High School Admissions Page: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/enrollment/enroll-grade-by-grade/high-school
– School Website (New Voices Brooklyn): https://newvoicesbrooklyn.org/
Plan to join the Google Classroom when it is launched in September 2025 (Instructions will be provided then).

Start Researching High Schools

Use MySchools to explore different types of high school programs: Zoned, Open, Screened, Audition-based, Specialized (SHSAT schools).
Attend open houses and virtual info sessions listed under the Events tab in MySchools (it may not be updated).
Create a list of 12–20 potential high school programs that vary in type of admission methods.
Talk with your child about their interests, goals, commute, and what type of school might fit them best.

Understand SHSAT & Auditions

Be aware that the SHSAT is going digital in Fall 2025, with added supports for ELLs and students with IEPs.
Begin preparing for the SHSAT over the summer if your child is considering specialized high schools. Practice exams are on the DOE website.
Look into audition requirements if your child is interested in schools like LaGuardia.

Plan Ahead for Fall

Watch for announcements about High School Application Opening (October 2025) and SHSAT Registration Opening (October 2025).

Other Application Notes

Private school applications: Families handle these independently. Submit required school forms to Ms. Miller at least 2 weeks before deadlines.
Charter school applications are separate and not part of MySchools—apply directly through each charter school.

Communication Tips

When replying to group emails/messages from Ms. Miller, start a new message thread instead of replying directly.
