NYC School Surveys due
Every year, we ask all families, teachers, and staff to take the NYC School Survey. The survey gives school leaders a better understanding of what members of their school community think about their school. The information collected by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn.
The 2024 NYC School Survey launched February 12 and will close on April 5, 2024.

Summer Rising is free, and open to any NYC student currently in kindergarten through grade 8.

New MySchools Summer Rising Application
The application will open in early March, and close in late March. This year, for the first time, families can apply for Summer Rising online using MySchools, our online directory and application system.
To apply, log in or create a MySchools account at MySchools.nyc using your email address, your child’s 9-digit student ID number and a MySchools account creation code, which you can get by contacting your child's school. If you have applied using MySchools before, your child will already be added to your account. For general support call 311.
Families can list as many programs as they would like on their application; we recommend families list as many programs as possible to increase the likelihood of being placed in a program of their choice.
This process is not first-come, first-served; all applications will be considered at the same time after the window ends. If families wish, they can make changes to their application at any point within the application window. Offers will be released in mid-April. Log back in to MySchools to view your results.
