The PTA has compiled a list of afterschool programs that parents may find useful.
This list will be updated as programs provide more information or new programs are added.
The NYC Department of Education has partnered with the nonprofit NYC Kids RISE, Inc. on the NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program. This free program provides families, schools, and communities with a way to work together to save for their children’s futures. It’s a scholarship and savings program designed to make college and career training more accessible and achievable for all NYC public school students, starting in kindergarten—regardless of their family’s income or immigration status.
Who qualifies for this program?
Kindergarten students who:
•begin kindergarten during the 2021-22 academic year, and
•are enrolled in a participating school.
How do you participate?
Your child will be automatically enrolled in the Save for College Program unless
you choose not to participate by “opting out.” You do not have to do anything to
receive a free NYC Scholarship Account.

As the weather begins to warm up and our students spend more time outside for activities and events in June, we would advise parents to be mindful of the warm and sunny weather and take proper precautions to insure your child is well protected during the school day.
