Dear Parent Leaders,
The kindergarten application is now open! If you live in New York City and have a child born in 2019, you can apply to kindergarten by the January 19, 2024, deadline! Please note that kindergarten admission is not first come, first served: there is no advantage to applying early, and all applications received by the deadline are treated the same.
You can apply in one of three ways:
- Online with MySchools.nyc—Recommended! Create your account today. You’ll use MySchools to search for elementary schools, find great choices for your child’s application, apply to kindergarten, and get your child’s offer letter. Watch our video tutorials to learn how to create your MySchools account and how to apply.
- By phone at 718-935-2009. Call us Monday-Friday between 8am and 6pm.
- Contact a Family Welcome Center. Learn how at schools.nyc.gov/FWC.
Translation and interpretation services are available through each application pathway.
As a reminder, you can use this application to apply to all types of kindergarten programs, including Kindergarten, Kindergarten G&T, Dual Language, and District 24 STEM programs.
Want to learn more? Join us at one of our virtual information sessions on elementary admissions. For dates and details, visit our elementary school events website (schools.nyc.gov/EsEvents). In the weeks ahead, we’ll send a series of updates and reminders.
You can also find flyers on how to apply and how to attend events here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UrF860S1HeOtJP1Hi0ilxiXvVkBwiBwE?usp=sharing.
