It outlines key dates, application timelines, and important tasks for both 7th and 8th graders. The guide emphasizes that there is a right high school for every child and offers practical advice to ensure a smooth and successful transition. Key dates include the opening and closing of CPS applications, Catholic entrance exam registration, and the release of Catholic school decisions. Additionally, to-do lists are provided for each grade level, detailing actions such as concentrating on schoolwork, solidifying relationships with recommendation providers, attending shadow days and open houses, and preparing for entrance exams. The document also highlights the importance of staying informed by subscribing to school mailing lists and newsletters.
