Join an Elementary Admissions Event!3-K, Pre-K, and Kindergarten

All NYC families with children born in 2021, 2022, or 2023 are invited to join us at a virtual information session covering 3-K, Pre-K, and Kindergarten admissions. After the presentation, we’ll respond to your questions. During each online event, we’ll walk you through each of the elementary admissions processes. We’ll cover how to learn about schools and programs, and their priorities, using the online school directory at MySchools.nyc. We’ll also discuss how to create a strong and balanced application, and how to apply. Check the events below to find out what interpretation services will be available at each event.
