Magnet School Modifications Scheduled for 2010-11 School Year
The program will undergo two notable modifications for the 2010-11 school year. A priority placement process for incoming first grade siblings will go into effect, and demand for the Math/Science Program will be met by incorporating a “school within a school” concept at Robert Frost Elementary. These changes are based upon the district’s ongoing commitment to examine areas of academic and operational needs and, when feasible, address these needs. Parents can learn more about the Westerville City Schools Magnet Program by visiting the district's Magnet School Program web site at www.wcsoh.org/magnet.htm or by attending the Magnet School Program Fair, scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on March 24, 2010, at Westerville South High School.
