Park Slope Parents Intro To Middle School Talk with Joyce Szuflita
The middle school application process is famously horrible. It is your first real step into choice at a time when you are also beginning to worry about sex, drugs and rock & roll. I am here to talk you down, untangle the spaghetti of choices (district, borough-wide and city-wide, school based applications and charters). I will also explain how it is a different kind of place than elementary. There is a reason that they stopped calling it "Junior High School". You may also feel that this is the start of the slippery slope to high school, but it is actually a great time to practice and make mistakes.
This talk is general information and sound advice. I won't be talking about specific schools and so it will apply, no matter what district you live in.

A portion of the proceeds will go to support the Old Stone House at Washington Park.
And, we're combining this great event with a toiletries drive for The Kensington, a CAMBA-run family homeless shelter. Bring the following unopened toiletries: shampoo, conditioner, lotions, face cream, soaps, wrapped toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, feminine hygiene products, baby wipes. etc. CAMBAs mission is to provide services that connect people with opportunities to enhance their quality of life.
