Parents can explore an array of public school options, meet school leaders and submit this year’s Common Application at this year’s Urban League of Greater New Orleans’s Schools Expo. The free event will take place on March 27, 2010, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lindy Boggs Conference Center on the University of New Orleans campus.
Schools Expo aims to increase awareness about school choice and familiarize parents with the Common Application process, which provides a simple application and timeline for applying to all Recovery School District direct-run and RSD charter schools. It offers an opportunity for parents to meet school leaders and teachers, submit their school applications and obtain information about a variety of community programs.
Schools Expo also is a fun event for the whole family, with activities for children, performances and refreshments. Additionally, each family receives a uniform voucher (valued at $25) and backpacks with schools supplies to ensure students are prepared for the first day of school.
The Urban League has partnered with schools and community resource/service
providers to create a day that is filled with all the information parents will need to give their children a head start on the upcoming school year!
Schools Expo is presented in partnership with the Recovery School District.
