New Students at HSES

What is Summer Bridge? When is it?

HSES Summer Bridge is for new students only and is program to build community and get to know our school on a more in-depth level. Dates are posted on the homepage.

What happens if I miss orientation and/or Summer Bridge?

The presentation from orientation will be posted on the website afterwards. We will catch you up once school starts in the fall on everything else.

 

Language Class Preference:  Language preferences are due in Summer.

What happens if I didn’t get to fill it out?

There are multiple factors that go into language courses including period placement, teacher power, and the other courses you need. You will be placed into Spanish, French, or Mandarin based on these factors. In September, you can request a course change through the guidance department. Not all course changes will be able to be honored. You will have the option of switching your language sophomore year, if there is space available.

 

If I filled out the language preference form, will I be guaranteed that language?

We cannot guarantee that you will be placed into your first choice. There are multiple factors that go into language courses including period placement, teacher power, and the other courses you need. You will have the option of switching your language sophomore year, if there is space available.

Miscellaneous Questions

When will I receive my program?

Students will receive their program on the first day of school during the official 3rd class period.  Signs and staff will be available on Day 1 to direct students to their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd period classes.

 

How can I get my student ID?

ID pictures will be taken at Summer Bridge and in the first week of school. 9th and new 10th graders who took pictures at Summer Bridge will receive your ID in the gym on your first day.  Other new students who did not have a photo taken will get their IDs during the first week.

Returning students in grades 10-12 should tell staff at the front door on entry that they need a replacement ID card.

What school supplies do I need?

Each teacher has their own list of requirements or suggested supplies that is included in their syllabus or opening day presentation.  Students should wait to receive that list.  In the meantime, coming prepared with paper (in a notebook or binder) and with pens or pencils can't hurt!

How do I get a MetroCard?

You will receive a MetroCard (now called an OMNY Card) during your 3rd period class in the first week of school.

What if I have immunization paperwork?

Please bring the paperwork to Ms. Irizarry in room 2006 (in the Guidance suite).

I am not a student at HSES yet. I am on the waitlist. How do I get accepted?

The DOE has a very clear process regarding the waitlist. When spots open up, we can accept students off the waitlist. We can only accept in the order that students are placed on the list. For example, if you are 35 on the waitlist, we will have to accept the 34 students in front of you before we can make an offer.

 

I got accepted into the Honors program. What does that mean?

Congratulations! The Honors sequence accelerates students' required courses, so that they can take more advanced/college courses in their junior and senior year.

In 9th grade, you will be placed into Honors English and Honors Global. In Math and Science we follow a very specific course sequence. You will be placed on an accelerated track in STEM, if you have specific courses and regents scores from middle school.

 

Who can I contact if I have more questions?

Please contact AP Ngozi Hodder

Питання щодо подання заявки

Як я можу подати документи у вашу школу?

Сім'ї можуть використовувати MySchools ( myschools.nyc ), щоб досліджувати школи, реєструватися на прослуховування SHSAT та LaGuardia середньої школи, а також подавати свою заявку в середню школу з 12 варіантами програм у порядку уподобань. Сім'ї також можуть подати свою реєстрацію та заяву через свого нинішнього шкільного радника або через Центр вітання сім'ї .  Вікно подання заявки на навчання у середній школі - від 19.01.2019 до 03.03.21.

Що робити, якщо у моїй школі використовується нетрадиційна система оцінювання, або я поступаю з приватної школи чи школи чартеру?

Приймальна комісія вищої школи порадила, що всі дані, що надходять із середніх шкіл, будуть перетворені в традиційну систему балів за допомогою посібника з академічної політики середньої школи NYCDOE.  В результаті всі учні, незалежно від типу системи оцінювання, що використовується в їхній середній школі, будуть вважатися однаково за шкалою 1-100 балів.

 

Що робити, якщо у мене є додаткові запитання?

Будь ласка, зв’яжіться з вашим нинішнім шкільним радником, який може допомогти вам у процесі подання заявки, а при необхідності звернутися до приймальної комісії від вашого імені.  Ви також можете ввійти на сайті myschools.nyc, щоб отримати додаткову інформацію про процес подання заявки.
