• Summer Rising Notice for Families

  Summer Rising MySchools Application

  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 with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 Plans

  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.

• 2025 NYC School Survey Notice

  Have your voice heard! 

  2025 NYC School Survey

  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.

  Planning to enroll in one of NYC's 700+ public high school programs in fall 2025? As of October 1, current eighth
  graders and first-time ninth graders can participate in this year's NYCPS high school application process.

  NYC Public Schools schools.nyc.gov | /nycschools | 2

  This year, MySchools (myschools.nyc) offers a new feature to help applicants understand their chances of
  receiving an offer from a particular program (schools.nyc.gov/OfferChances). Additionally, students may now
  list any number of program choices on their application, expanded from the previous limit of 12.

  Fall 2025 High School applications will close on Wednesday, December 4. Learn more at schools.nyc.gov/HS.
  2025 Middle School Admissions

  As of October 15, students currently in fifth grade (or sixth grade, for students in K–6 elementary schools), can
  participate in fall 2025 middle school admissions.

  New this year, families can now list ANY City public middle school on their application. While zoned and district
  priority schools will continue to prioritize zoned and/or district students, applicants from other zones/districts will
  now be considered for remaining seats.

  Fall 2025 Middle School applications will close on Friday, December 20. Learn more at schools.nyc.gov/MS.
  November 2024 Parent-Teacher Conferences

  This year’s second round of Parent-Teacher Conferences will begin on Thursday, November 7. Speak with your
  child’s teachers to schedule your conference times. Visit our Parent-Teacher Conferences page
  (schools.nyc.gov/ptc) for tips and additional guidance.

  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.
