Joyce Szuflita, of NYC School Help, is our School Expert, and always has the scoop on what’s going on with schools. She is doing her informative “Intro to Public School: PreK and Kindergarten” talks in the coming weeks. If the terms unzoned, district-wide, city-wide and gifted and talented cause you to start to twitch- Joyce can help set you right. If you want to understand the differences between charter, magnet and dual language schools- she can make it clear. Joyce doesn’t discuss individual schools at these talks, so don’t go with a list of schools you want her opinion. on. This is a general and very helpful talk. She always does a lot of Q and A so you get to hear what other parents know, their concerns and glean even more from your peers.
She will also:
Discuss the big picture with a big map:
- what you need to know
- when you need to know it
- what to do when things go wrong
- strategies and common practices, including the “the 5 things to do to keep from turning prematurely grey”
