HI I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE SOME INFORMATION . I WANT TO ENROLL MY 9 YEAR OLD AND MY 4 YEAR OLD..
Hi, I am interested in knowing if you have an unexpected opening for a seventh grader. My daughter’s name was submitted in the lottery this year, however, she was not chosen. I was told that if for some reason a student who was chosen does not show or withdraws, my daughter may be elegilble to feel that spot. M;y phone number is 973-991-2594. Please call or email for future openings.
Thanks,
Ms. E. Wiley/former applicant/parent
Hello i have a 10 year old how do i get in the lottery to get my daughter in. can u send me some info please.
I have three children; one is 4 yearsold, the other is five and another is nine years old. I heard the charter school is much better in disciplince and academic matters. I really appreciated if we can guide me to enroll my kids to charter school. Thank you.
this site will help u and the email is to the 6th grade language teacher Ms.Erin Dillane. I am a nsa student ur child is sure enough to take my place. but i am warning u dont try it.
I submitted an application for my son at North star in Hazewood street off South Orange in Newark since April and to my suprise, when I went back during the holiday to check what was going on, the receptionist told me she called my house number and when no one answered she cancelled my son,s name. I don,t know what she was talking about because I did not put down one phone number ,she should know we have to go to work and she didn,t try other numbers or e-mail us. anyway she told me that my son,s name is next on the list now. My question is am I STILL GOING TO BE INVOLVE IN THE NEXT LOTTERY OR MY SON IS GOING TO BE CALLED FOR ADMISSION SINCE HE IS NEXT ON THE LIST.
