Las Opciones Escolares de CMS  “School Choice” ofrece a las familias un menú de escuelas y programas “magnet” y temas de especialización diseñados para satisfacer los intereses, talentos, y estilos de aprendizaje exclusivos de su hijo. ¡Utilice nuestro calendario para encontrar oportunidades para visitar nuestras escuelas!

Eventos de la lotería en las escuelas

  • “Open houses” (casas abiertas): visite un evento de casa abierta para hablar con el personal de la escuela (generalmente administradores, coordinadores, y maestros), haga sus preguntas y posiblemente recorra el plantel escolar. También podrá tener la oportunidad de visitar las aulas que están en sesión, dependiendo de la hora y el lugar de la sesión.
  • Sesiones Informativas: visite las sesiones informativas para obtener más detalles sobre el tema “magnet” de una escuela del personal de la escuela (generalmente administradores o coordinadores). Los padres generalmente tienen la oportunidad de hacer sus preguntas después de una presentación informativa. Las escuelas pueden optar por organizar reuniones informativas en persona o virtualmente.
  • Sesión de Información sobre las Opciones Escolares: una sesión de información sobre las Opciones Escolares es una reunión de una hora con nuestro equipo de Opciones Escolares para aprender sobre los diferentes temas “magnet”, las próximas fechas de lotería, y el proceso de solicitud de lotería. Tendrá la oportunidad de hacerles preguntas individuales a nuestros expertos al final de la sesión.

Nota: Las jornadas de las casas abiertas “open houses” y las sesiones informativas para 2023-2024 se añadirán aquí a medida que se programen.
