APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR
Follow the steps below to make the enrollment process smooth and efficient:
Step 1:
- First apply via the NYC DOE’s MySchools portal. The portal will be open January 15 through February 28, 2025.
- On MySchools, families can find us by searching the school code 18KAVQ.
- If you are interested in H.E.S. Early Childhood, please indicate us as your first choice.
Step 2:
- You will receive your NYC official letter of placement in mid-May.
- You must accept the offer by the due date or the H.E.S. cannot guarantee a seat will be reserved for your child.
- Complete your H.E.S. Early Childhood Registration here for 3-K and Pre-K (UPK).
If you are a family that has an active ACS or HRA voucher and was offered a seat, please contact us directly as the information needed to process your application will require more documentation.
