NEW ARRIVALS/GRADES 1 -5
Fall 2023 Registration:
We are registering newly arrived students throughout the summer for Fall 2023 enrollment. If your family is living at an address zoned for our school and you wish to have your child attend PS 321 in the fall, please email Parent Coordinator Deb Orr ( parentcoordinator@ps321.
Registration for new students will be conducted online for the 2023-24 school year. If you do not have internet access, please contact Deb for alternate arrangements.
Children can not be registered prior to a move; they must currently be in residence at an address zoned for our school. We enroll all zoned students in grades 1 – 5; registration in these grades is not first-come, first served, and we do not have a waitlist for in-zone students in those grades. We can only enroll zoned students at this time. In order to register, families will be required to submit the documents listed below, along with their child’s latest report card (optional but recommended), and IEP (if applicable).
Kindergarten Registration:
All NYC families with children born in 2018 may apply to Kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year. Kindergarten families who applied online by the January 20, 2023 deadline will receive their child’s Kindergarten offer on April 4th, viewable in the MySchools.nyc portal. Once you accept your child’s offer in MySchools, we can begin the registration process. The deadline to accept your child’s offer is May 5th, 2023.
Newly arrived, zoned Kindergarten families should update their address in MySchools.nyc or contact the Family Welcome Center to be added to our zoned applicant waitlist.
Documents for Registration, K – 5:
In order to enroll your child, you will need to upload:
2 proofs of address – Con Edison and National Grid utility bills preferred*.
Birth Certificate or Passport.
