Welcome to Kindergarten September 2024

Dear Families of September PS101 Kindergarteners!

Today, families who applied for Kindergarten through their MySchools account will be receiving confirmation of their placement for Kindergarten (the notification will probably arrive after school hours).

For those of you fortunate enough to have been placed at PS101, you will be receiving an email tomorrow (March 28) from our school with a Calendly link to schedule your time to come and register your child in PS101.

Registration will take place over the course of two weeks in April and translators will be available on specific days.

Step 1: Schedule your time for registration through the link that you will receive via email.
Step 2: Begin gathering and completing your registration information – all of which will be contained in the email that you get on March 28.
Step 3: Read some preliminary information here on registration and immunization documents.
Step 4: Important: When you come to register you must have your child with you.

In the meantime you should follow us on Instagram to learn about our school.

After registration in April, we will have an in person orientation before the end of the school year. You will be notified of the date as we get closer and we look forward to meeting you then!
