Dear Principals and Counselors,

The New York City public schools in many ways embody the new, truly global city. Young people and their families come here from over 175 countries and speak more than 140 languages. Newly arriving families face many difficult challenges in adapting to the demands of their new environment, and teenagers are no exception. Engaging these students, helping them overcome obstacles and participate fully in earning a high school diploma in a timely manner are all important objectives of the New York City Department of Education. School staff face challenges as well in providing a smooth transition between the student's native country and their new environment here in the United States. Therefore, school officials must be provided with the proper tools to understand and translate the knowledge and skills acquired in students' home countries in order to be able to properly place students in the appropriate grade and courses in their new school. Given the various differences between the systems used around the world, assessing educational credentials can be a daunting process.Evaluating Foreign Transcripts: The A-Z Manual provides guidelines specifically to support staff in completing this process. We all share the goal of high academic achievement for young people in this city - whether they were born here or arrived yesterday. I would like to thank everyone involved in this process for their hard work and contributions in reaching this goal.
