Applications for Kindergarten open on December 10,2024

and closes on January 24, 2025

Starting December 10th, families with children born in 2020 can apply to kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year. Applying to kindergarten is an exciting time and we are here to help.



You can use Myschools.nyc to search and apply to programs of interest at NYC public schools. Many of our public schools have more than one program. Here are the four program types that a school can offer:

Kindergarten – All schools offer a standard kindergarten program, serving all learners. Zoned programs have a specific geographic area assigned to them where families receive the highest priority. Non-zoned programs do not have a specific area assigned, but rather give priority to families who have siblings attending, who attend for pre-k, or reside in the district. 

Kindergarten (Citywide or District) Gifted and Talented Program – Gifted & Talented programs offer accelerated instruction to eligible elementary school students in New York City. If you list a G&T program on your application, your child’s eligibility will be determined by their current pre-k teacher or via an interview. District G&T programs give priority to siblings and to families who reside in the district. For more information about eligibility visit our webpage – schools.nyc.gov/GT

Applications for Middle School closes on December 20, 2024

Is your student in their final year of elementary school?

It's the time to explore their middle school options for the 2025-2026 school year!

Use MySchools to explore NYC public schools, find programs for your high school application, and apply—all in one place.

Three Paths

• High School Application. This process is how you apply to most high school programs. During the application period, apply to 12 or more options with your high school application. Submit your application online or through a school counselor. Some programs have additional requirements, such as an audition or assessment, and some programs make offers based on applicants' academic records.

• Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT). Interested students can also apply to the eight testing Specialized High Schools . At schools.nyc.gov/SHS, learn how to participate and find SHSAT practice tests and other test preparatory materials.

• LaGuardia High School Application. Interested students can also apply to any/all of LaGuardia's six arts programs by submitting a LaGuardia application and auditioning.

2) Full Closure

3) Full Closure: Schools

Street that is temporarily closed to vehicles to support schools for drop-off and pick-up operations, recess, and outdoor learning.

PUBLIC HEARINGS & ADOPTED RULES

Notice of Adoption

December 15, 2024: This adopted rule sets the framework for the Department of Sanitation’s application of trash containerization requirements to residential buildings with 10 or more units, starting with a limited pilot program. This rule designates Manhattan Community District 9, encompassing West Harlem, which also includes the neighborhoods of Hamilton Heights, Manhattanville, and Morningside Heights, as the first area in which to pilot these requirements, with an implementation date of June 1, 2025 and end date of May 31, 2026. https://files.constantcontact.com/b392c2a4701/e9bf6491-4192-40cd-ac5d-c0ec22a1833e.pdf?rdr=true .

December 18, 2024: Section 102-06 of Chapter 100 of Title 1 of the Rules of the City of New York is amended to clarify the provisions of the Homeowner Resolution Program that gives owners of one- and two-family homes who have not received any prior violations at the property within the past five years an opportunity to correct certain violating conditions prior to receiving a notice of violation and associated penalties. https://files.constantcontact.com/b392c2a4701/bc599845-0e85-4924-a1ce-d83fa99e5fc1.pdf?rdr=true

December 18, 2024: The rule amendment lowers the civil penalty amount for failure to file a certification of inspection of a building’s gas piping system for 3-family buildings. The civil penalty amount applicable to such buildings is lowered from $5,000 to $1,500. The lower amount is less of a hardship for owners of these smaller buildings (the smallest buildings that are subject to this requirement) yet still serve as a penalty for noncompliance. For larger buildings, the civil penalty amount for failure to file a certification of inspection stays the same. https://files.constantcontact.com/b392c2a4701/6cef88bb-e6df-4ecb-8f60-689f54da2c06.pdf?rdr=true

December 18, 2024: Local Law 50 of 2022 amended section 28-219.1 of the New York City Administrative Code to remove the minimum penalty for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition and to exempt 1-4 family homes. The local law also limited the violations eligible for the penalty to those issued for an immediately hazardous condition at construction sites. https://files.constantcontact.com/b392c2a4701/ab60a437-1bdf-4e24-a793-ae3ae7ff947e.pdf?rdr=true

December 27, 2024: To more effectively deploy police resources and control overtime costs, the New York City Police Department has recommended that SAPO exercise its discretion to deny permit applications for new multi-block/multi-day street fair events in calendar year 2025. This rule authorizes SAPO to deny permit applications for street fairs if the street fair was not held in the calendar year 2024. Events that received permits in calendar year 2024 may be eligible to receive permits again in calendar year 2025. https://files.constantcontact.com/b392c2a4701/55334bb5-4c06-44a3-bd3d-165d9d7861a8.pdf?rdr=true

January 01, 2025: The amendment amends PPB Rules §§ 3-02 and 3-03 by (1) extending the maximum allowable term of multiple award task or purchase order contracts awarded through competitive sealed bidding from three years to five years, (2) extending the maximum allowable term of multiple award task order contracts awarded through competitive sealed proposals from three years to five years, and (3) amending the Rule to clarify that such contracts may be extended in accordance with the PPB Rules § 4-02(b)(1)(iii). https://files.constantcontact.com/b392c2a4701/422b1fc8-6883-47ad-bad3-4718e8dc6b57.pdf?rdr=true.

April 1, 2025: Notice is hereby given pursuant to the authority vested in the Commissioner of the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection by sections 1043 and 2203(f) of the New York City Charter, sections 20-104, 20-493(a), and 20-702 of the New York City Administrative Code, and in accordance with the requirements of section 1043 of the New York City Charter, that the Department amends Title 6 of the Rules of the City of New York, relating to debt collectors.. https://files.constantcontact.com/b392c2a4701/fafd72b2-9f1e-4aff-86f5-7923886b8514.pdf?rdr=true
