2012-2013 Registration Information for Prospective Families

While non-zoned applications may be submitted for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, first priority is given to zoned families.  For grades 1-5, we DO NOT accept non-zoned applications.  If you do not know whether P.S. 29 is your zoned school, please visit the Department of Education’s website: click here; call Maureen Monaco, pupil secretary at PS 29: (718) 330-9277; or call 311.

Pre-Kindergarten Admissions

Applications for the 2012-2013 school year will be available March 5th – April 6th through the Department of Education website (please visit schools.nyc.gov) and by hard-copy in our main office.  Please note: applications must be submitted directly to the Department of Education either online or by mail; applications will not be accepted at individual public schools.  Offer letters will be mailed in June.

For more information, please visit their website at schools.nyc.gov

Kindergarten Admissions

The Kindergarten Application Period for the 2012-2013 school year will be January 9, 2012 – March 2, 2012.  Applications will be available in our main office during this time.  Please know that all applications received by the deadline of March 2nd will be treated the same–it is NOT first-come, first-served.

Non-zoned families who fill out a wait-list application will only hear from us in late August, should space be available (should an offer be made, selection will be by lottery).  To fill out a wait-list application, you do not need to bring any forms with you.

For more information about the process, please visit the “Choices & Enrollment” page at the Department of Education website: schools.nyc.gov

Registration for new students entering Grades 1 through 5 will be ongoing, however we encourage families to register by May if they can, as that will allow us to provide class placement before school lets out for the summer.  Please visit our main office with your child and the registration materials listed below. 

PS 29 does not offer a wait-list option for non-zoned 1^st-5^th grade students.
