Welcome Back to PS29!

Ready for Back to School, PS 29 Families? 

We’re so excited to welcome students back to the building next week. We've missed our returning students and are thrilled to meet our new ones!

Class Placement Letters will be emailed over two days later this week, no later than Friday, August 29th. It’s possible that one child might receive their assignment before another child in a different grade. You will hear directly from your child's teacher on Tuesday, September 2nd when they will send their personal welcome note to introduce themselves to you.

Kindly use the checklist below to make sure you have all the information you need, and that your forms are completed before the first day of school on Thursday, September 4th.

Please also take care to review the Arrival, Dismissal & Phase-In plans for your child’s specific grade.We’re so looking forward to seeing all our families next week, and to our continued partnership this year!Warmly,P.S. 29 Team
