Transportation
For anyone curious about bus tickets, bus tickets are only given to students who live 2.5 miles or more from the school. If you are going to any Jersey City Public School this upcoming school year, a teacher will usually talk to students about bus tickets and give out bus tickets (if they are eligible) within the first two weeks of school.
When are Infinity/McNair’s applications generally released?
Infinity and McNair open applications every school year sometime in January and information on applications can be found on Infinity or McNair’s website. At school, students may also receive a McNair/Infinity Parent Letter with information on when applications open and close.
How do I look at my child’s grades, schedule, and attendance?
We already have a post on infinitecampus, an app that Jersey City Public Schools use so parents can see their child’s grades, schedule, attendance, and more.
How should I study for the OLSAT?
We have a page on Tests and Test Prep. A tutor usually isn’t necessary for the OLSAT because there are already practice books that should will prepare you adequately. In order to do well on the OLSAT, students often benefit from seeing a similar test format and similar questions. The PSAT is not about pattern-recognition, like the OLSAT is, and has different test material.
What are the magnet schools in Jersey City?
Public magnet schools in Jersey City are different (from regular Public middle schools and high schools) because you have to apply and test to get in. Infinity, AEP, and Academy 1 are the three magnet Public middle schools, which means the schools have an accelerated program with a more advanced cirriculum. McNair and Infinity (Infinity is also a high school) are the only Public Magnet high schools in Jersey City.
