As with our prior SCHOOLFESTs, all schools (day care to high school, private & public) in Greenpoint and Williamsburg - are invited to a single venue to promote their schools & programs to prospective students and parents. We also invite colleges and service providers for our children. We will have workshops by Joyce Szuflita of NYC School Help, to help parents understand and navigate the complicated NYC public school application process. Vendor forms can be downloaded here:
