EXTENDED REGISTRATION FOR ADDITIONAL PRE-K SEATS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT 15

More from City Councilmember Brad Lander on the additional pre-k classes for school district 15, in addition to yesterday's post:
The lottery for more than 100 new, full-day, pre-k seats at the former Bishop Ford High School (in Windsor Terrace) has been extended through Tuesday, September 2nd, in an effort to accommodate more families.

The opportunity is open to all families with eligible 4-year-olds who live in District 15 (you can see what district you are zoned for here).

You still have to apply in person, at P.S. 10 at 511 7th Avenue (at 17th Street), 9 am - 3 pm weekdays (not including Labor Day).  The seats will be allocated by lottery (rather than "first-come, first-served").
To apply, you need to come with your child, their birth certificate, evidence of vaccination, and two proofs of address.

As we wrote yesterday, we're sorry for the last-minute nature of the opportunity, but excited to see New York City moving steadily toward truly universal pre-k, where all 4-year-olds will have the chance to get started on their educational path.
