Watch this space next week for The Notebook‘s first ever Fall Guide. (Here it is!) This year the spotlight is on high schools and it will tell you what you really need to know to start the school year off right.
The Fall Guide will be available starting late next week. For the first time, you’ll be able to pick up a copy of the Notebook on the first day of school. This is part of the Notebook‘s expansion plan. This spring you’ll also find another edition of the Notebook, which will bring us to six editions per year.
Features in the Fall Guide include profiles of all public high schools and articles about what’s new in the District, selecting a high school, new charter schools, and "what I wish I knew."
