Dear Fellow Parents & Guardians:
We hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving break. As we enter the holiday season, we want to thank all of our families that have made a contribution to our Giving Tuesday appeal and remind everyone that the Byron family match is still in effect for contributions up to $100 through December 15th. You can make a donation now here.
Parent professionals in pathophysiology, epidemiology and medicine held a BxSciU symposium on the Science Behind the Pandemic attended by over 100 Bronx Science parents, students and family members
We look forward to seeing you at our next PA Zoom meeting this Wednesday, December 9th at 7pm. Login here to YouTube or Zoom.
Our featured guest will be Adam Ingersoll from Compass Education, who will discuss What You Should Know About College Admissions.
The information that will be shared is educational and the event is not a solicitation for the presenter’s services. Please join other Bronx Science families for a thoughtful and pragmatic discussion of college admission testing that will be useful to both students and parents.
Topics of discussion:
- COVID-19’s sweeping impact on college admission testing
- How to respond to the flexibility afforded by test-optional policies
- Best way to approach the SAT vs ACT decision
- The role of test scores in different admissions contexts
- Making sense of the subtlety and variety of testing policies
- Debunking the most pervasive myths about testing
- Test-date disruption and when online at-home testing may debut
- Finding the optimal timeline for your testing and test prep
- Scope of test prep and expectations for improvement
At the meeting, we will also be drawing our raffle winner for the MacBook Air.
Finally, we’re almost there … winter recess starts on Thursday, December 24, 2020. Classes resume on Monday, January 4, 2021. Until then (and beyond), stay safe Bronx Science.
