Registering for the Boston Public Schools can be a complicated process, but if you know all the ins and outs it's a lot easier. Over the next few weeks I'll go through the necessary steps. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me by clicking my name below.

The process is under way now with School Preview Time running through January. You'll actually register by visiting a Family Resource Center between January 5th and February 2nd, 2007. 

The BPS uses a lottery system so you'll need to choose several schools (at least three, but the more the better) and rank them in order of preference. The first thing you'll need to do is to find out which schools you're eligible to apply for.

On October 23rd the Hurley School opened its new library. The library reflects the hard work of Hurley Staff and Parents along with amazing support from the community. Shelving, desks, and lamps were donated by Ikea. Computers were provided by Verizon. Books were donated by the Shady Hill School and New England Mobile Book Fair. Books were also purchased using a $5,000 grant from the Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries.

Attending the event were Mayor Thomas Menino, interm schools superintendent Michael Contompasis, city councillor Mike Ross, and state representative Byron Rushing.
