The application will open on March 4, and close March 28, 2025. As in 2024, families can apply for Summer Rising online using MySchools, our online directory and application system.
To apply, log in to MySchools.nyc (if you already have a MySchools account you do not need to create a new one). Your MySchools account, used for admissions, is different from the NYC Schools Account (NYCSA) that you may use to access your child’s health forms and update emergency contact information.
If you have applied to Summer Rising, 3-K/Pre-K programs, or NYCPS schools using MySchools before, your child may already be added to your account. If you do not have a MySchools account, you can create one at MySchools.nyc using your email address, your child’s 9-digit student ID number and a MySchools account creation code, which you can get by contacting your child's school.
Families can list as many programs as they would like on their application; we recommend that you list as many programs as possible to increase the likelihood of being placed in a program of your choice.
This process is not first-come, first-served; all applications received by the deadline will be treated the same. Families may make changes to their application at any point within the application period.
If you have any questions or need support with the application, please visit our website at schools.nyc.gov/SummerRising, contact your school, or email summer@schools.nyc.gov.
Students attending 12-month/Extended School Year (ESY) special class, Nest, or Horizon Programs will receive the program and services recommended on their IEP at an Extended School year (ESY), District 75, or Nest or Horizon Summer Program site. Families who wish to participate in IEP program and extended-day CBO-led enrichment through Summer Rising should use the MySchools application portal. These families will have priority for seats in Summer Rising and will choose from the CBO program(s) operating in connection with their IEP program.
If you do not want extended day enrichment for your child, and your child will only be participating in Nest or Horizon programming (until 12:00 p.m.), D75 (until 2:30 p.m.), or ESY programming (until 2:00 p.m.), you should contact your child’s school instead of using the MySchools application portal.
Students who require accommodations, such as a paraprofessional or nurse, to participate in Summer Rising will receive them based on their individual needs.
If you’re interested in helping shape policies and priorities that will affect the education of City students, consider joining an education council! Parents can apply to run for the 2025–2027 term until Sunday, February 16, 2025. Applications are completed via your NYC Schools Account (schoolsaccount.nyc) and only take 5–10 minutes to complete! Review the Eligibility Checklist, Elections Guide, and FAQ on schools.nyc.gov/Elections2025 for more information about who can run for a seat on each council.
To complete your application, you’ll need to create a New York City Schools Account (NYCSA) in your name. You will also use your NYCSA to vote for the candidates for your district, so it’s important to be prepared by creating your account now—learn how at schools.nyc.com/NYCSA.
Have your voice heard!
Beginning February 10, 2025, NYCPS will hold its annual NYC School Survey. Held annually over the past 19 years, the NYC School Survey asks City public school families, teachers, students in grades 6–12, and select staff members to provide their feedback regarding their individual experiences in City public schools. This feedback, which will remain confidential, will help our schools better understand what their students and community members need and think about their learning environments, educators, curricula, support services, and more. School leaders can then use this feedback to help improve their schools and program offerings.
To view and complete the survey, log into your official NYCSA at schoolsaccount.nyc beginning February 10. You will also receive a printed copy of the survey with instructions on how to complete the survey on paper or online.
The 2025 Survey will close on April 4, 2025. Learn more about the 2025 NYC School Survey at nycschoolsurvey.org.

Preparing for Remote Learning
In the event that NYCPS buildings must close due to the weather, all K–12 students will be expected to participate
in their classes from home. Please ensure your child has a working internet-enabled device at home—prepare by
reaching out to your school directly now if your child needs a device loaned from NYCPS; do not wait for a building
closure. Learn how to get started using your loaned iPad or laptop at schools.nyc.gov/NYCPSdevices.
To participate in remote learning, students will need to log on using their NYCPS Student Account
(schools.nyc.gov/StudentAccounts). If you do not know your child’s username and password, please visit
selfservice.schools.nyc or ask your school for help. For information about the applications and platforms we use,
please visit schools.nyc.gov/DigitalLearning.
Stay Up to Date with Your Child’s Vaccinations
All NYCPS students, from Infant and Toddler programs through grade 12, must meet both State and City school
immunization requirements in order to attend school. Review the requirements for students in your child’s grade
level at schools.nyc.gov/immunization.
Remember: a healthy school setting gives all students the best opportunity to learn, and vaccines are among the
most effective tools we have to protect our children from diseases that can make them sick. Talk to your child's
health provider to learn more, or find a health provider who fits your family’s needs at pndslookup.health.ny.gov.

PLEASE, we ask that parents stay on the other side of the street while we are walking. Every class will walk around the entire school block twice, so you will have a lot of opportunities to see your child. Grades 3, 4, 5: 8:30 - 9:00am Grades 3K, PreK, K, 1, and 2: 9:30 -10:00am Route: We will start at the gates in our large school yard, walk up to the corner of 82nd and 97th avenue, and keep making rights down to 101st Ave and back up 83rd Street into the school yard. We will only walk on the sidewalk around our school, we do not cross any streets. In the event of inclement weather, we will have an indoor parade for students only. |
If you do NOT want your child to participate in this event, please send a letter to notify your child’s teacher. We will have your child participate in an alternate activity.
