This parent-child event is designed to assist 5th and 4th-grade families in navigating the process of applying to middle school. Lori Dembo, Head of School, will introduce a panel of private school admission directors. These middle school admission directors will provide a quick overview of their middle school. After introductions, students and parents are invited to ask questions of the panel.
Afterward, current 5th grade students and their parents will hear directly from SJPDS alumni, representing a variety of public and private schools. Alumni will share their middle school experiences along with tips for making an easy transition to middle school.
