BCPS Magnet Schools to Host Open Houses and Live Web Chats


Thinking about a magnet program, but not sure which one to choose? During the month of January, Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) will hold its annual magnet schools open houses and live web chats to offer interested students and parents an opportunity to learn more about the program themes, specialized curriculum and activities available at magnet schools.

During the open houses, parents and students will be able to tour the magnet school facilities and talk with magnet coordinators and teachers. In addition, some magnet schools are reaching out to students and parents through virtual live web chats. Web chats provide a convenient way to gain insight about a magnet school by logging on from a desktop or laptop.  Once connected, a magnet coordinator will present the program through a webinar and chat remotely with parents and students.

For more information about the unique academic options offered in magnet schools, the schedule of open houses, and to log on to the live web chats, visit the Innovative Programs website at (www.browardschoolsinnovativeprograms.com). Applications are also available online. The deadline to apply to a magnet school is February 13, 2013.
