Kindergarten

Kindergarten

Children who turn five during the current calendar year (January 1st through December 31st) are eligible for admission to Kindergarten. Students who did not attend Kindergarten and are age appropriate for 1st grade (turning six during the current calendar year) will be admitted to 1st grade.

The Office of Student Enrollment oversees the Kindergarten application process. Please visit the DOE website for more information nor to sign up for email alerts.

Families will receive notification about a placement offer in March or early April and be asked to schedule an appointment at PS6 for pre-registration.

Admission is not first-come, first served. All applications received by the deadline will be treated the same by the Office of Student Enrollment based on the admissions priorities outlined below.

Standard Admissions Priorities for Zoned Schools

Students residing in the zone, who have a sibling at the school in grades K-5
for the upcoming school year;
Students residing in the zone, who do not have a sibling at the school;

If space allows, students residing outside the zone may also be admitted, in the following priority order:

Students residing in the district, who have a sibling at the school in grades K-5 for the upcoming school year; (parents are typically notified by the Office of Student in Enrollment in late August if a seat is available)
Students residing outside the district, who have a sibling at the school in grades K-5 for the upcoming school year;
Students residing in the district, who currently attend the school’s pre-kindergarten program
Students residing outside the district, who currently attend the school’s pre-kindergarten program;
Students who reside in the district, other than those in (1) and (3) above;
Students who reside outside the district, other than those in (2) and (4) above.

Historically we fill our available seats with students who live in our zone; therefore if you do not live in the zone, the chance of receiving a placement in our school is low.

NOTE: We are extremely meticulous about address verification.

According to the Chancellor's Regulation A-101, your child’s primary residence is where s/he resides and sleeps at night. An apartment you rent or own but do not reside in at the time of registration, your place of employment or any other variation is not considered a primary residence. For divorced families, the address of the custodial parent is used for registration; the custody agreement must be submitted at the time of registration.

The NYCDOE reserves the right to conduct address investigations and abide by the findings of the investigations. It’s illegal to question families on their immigration status. Immigrants do not have to provide documents of US residency but they must provide the same proofs of residence as noted above.

School Tours

We are happy to offer school tours for families interested in attending PS6. You do not need to live in our zone to attend a tour. Please note the DOE requires all guests to show ID upon entering the school building. Tours are conducted by both students and current parents, providing visitors to have an opportunity to visit various classes, meet with our principal, and have an opportunity for a Q&A. Please remember that tours are for adults only; no children may attend. We are unable to offer private tours for prospective families.
