The City School District of New Rochelle is offering current New Rochelle residents from kindergarten through fifth-grade Magnet placement for the 2022-2023 school year at three Magnet Schools (Barnard Early Childhood Center, Columbus Elementary School, and Daniel Webster Elementary School). A support session to help families with the Magnet lottery process will be held this Saturday, March 19.
The lottery is being managed online to make it easier for families to register once they have accepted their seat; parents can submit an entry at https://www.nred.org/page/magnet-program. Families will have until March 25, 2022 to enter and rank their preferences for programs and locations. Every effort will be made to accommodate families’ choices. Starting March 30, 2022, families will be notified about next steps, including registering for a specific program.
The school district’s Office of Curriculum and Instruction, in partnership with the New Rochelle Public Library, will offer a support session this Saturday, March19, to provide Magnet lottery and new-student registration help to families. School district employees and volunteers will be available to assist families in both English and Spanish from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the New Rochelle Public Library, 1 Library Plaza at Lawton Street. (To be eligible to start kindergarten this fall, a child must have been born on or before Dec. 31, 2017.)
