Applying for New Dawn Charter School II is easy, but please read the instructions carefully. Per the approved charter application, New Dawn Charter High School II is a transfer school, but will also accept any student in the 8th grade that is 16 years of age or older.
New Dawn II has a rolling application period and we accept applications 12 months out of the year for admission in September and February. However, those students who apply by April 1st will be included in a lottery and if picked, will be guaranteed enrollment in the following September. To ensure access to transfer students, students may complete the lottery application for enrollment in February. These students will be added to the wait list and will be enrolled if there is available space.
You can apply in three ways:
Please call us at 347-947-2580 if you have any questions.
Admitted students are also required to complete and submit the following as part of the enrollment process:
It is critical that the school be notified immediately of any changes in a student’s name, address, phone number, responsible parent, or any other information provided at the time of registration. Such changes should be communicated in writing and sent to the Principal.
Placement of Incoming Students
Students also take a series of assessments during orientation that New Dawn II staff determine grade and classroom placement. These include the following:
For the 2019-2010 school year, all students enrolled will be in 9th grade. This includes any student coming from the 8th grade that is 16 years of age or older.
Transfer Credits
Whenever possible, incoming students’ report cards and/or progress reports are reviewed for course placement and credit. If a student has made satisfactory progress at his/her transferring school in a course, then he/she may be able to get full credit for the equivalent course at New Dawn II, given that he/she completes all stated requirements by the end of the term. The degree of partial credit granted hinges on consultations between the Principal and respective instructors.
Privacy
New Dawn II complies with all confidentiality laws protecting the privacy of its students and their families. Information regarding a student’s progress will be shared only with parents or guardians, appropriate members of the school’s faculty and staff, and any professional consultants retained for the purpose of measuring and/or improving instructional quality. When information regarding student performance is made public, it will be presented in such a way as to avoid the identification of specific, individual students.
