Kindergarten Admissions for September 2012

We will be registering Kindergarten students on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. 

The kindergarten admissions process is school‐based, but there is a standard timeline for all schools and there are citywide guidelines for eligibility and admissions priorities. Families must submit an application for kindergarten admission, even if they are applying to their zoned school.  Please consult with schools.nyc.gov for a list of the documents you must bring with you.

Admissions Priorities

Zoned schools will give priority to students who live in that zone, as they have in the past. Schools will make assignments according to the following priorities, listed from highest to lowest:
  1. Zoned students with a sibling who will be in grades 1-5 at the school in 2012-2013;
  2. All other zoned students;
  3. Students residing in the school’s district but outside the school’s zone, with a sibling who will be in grades 1-5 at the school in 2012-2013;
  4. Students residing outside of the school’s district with a sibling who will be in grades 1-5 at the school in 2012-2013;
  5. All other students residing in the school’s district but outside the school’s zone;
  6. All other students.
