Pre-Kindergarten
Registration for the upcoming 2013–14 school year will be handled by the NYC Department of Education. It’s a centralized application process and each school has little involvement in it. The application form will be available online in the spring on the DOE’s website (www.nyc.gov/schools/prek). We will also have paper copies in the school office at PS 133.
The application form will be available online starting Monday, March 4 on the DOE’s website (www.nyc.gov/schools/prek). We will also have paper copies in the school office at PS 133. Registration is open until early April, answers go out if you get into the Pre-K program in June.
