Grade 5 Families’ Middle School Admissions Process
We will update you as soon as we have guidelines from the Middle School Enrollment. To learn about Middle School Admissions please visit: Middle School Information for the most up-to-date information, translated in different languages.
NYC Schools Account
We invite you to register your child’s NYC Schools Account. This account will allow the Department of Education to share important information with you, about your child’s learning, such as: enrollment history, attendance, report card, assessment data, and guardian’s contact information. Ms. Lau will send a letter home and email the families, who have not created their accounts, with a video that details how to set up the accounts. (NYC Schools Account)
