Summer Rising Results
Beginning Tuesday, April 21, families who submitted Summer Rising applications by the March 27 deadline can log in to MySchools.nyc to view their results. Summer Rising seats are limited—please only accept your child’s offer if your child will attend most of their scheduled program. Research shows that the more students show up, the better prepared they'll be to succeed in math and reading in the fall.
The last day to accept or decline Summer Rising offers is Tuesday, May 5—if accepting, make sure you answer any required questions to ensure your child’s seat! Summer Rising placements will not be confirmed unless families accept their offer by the deadline; your child will not be automatically enrolled. Accepting an offer will not affect your child’s chances of getting a waitlist offer at a later date.

Submit your survey today by mail or online in one of 13 available languages at NYCSchoolSurvey.org.
New Automated Language Assistant
Communicating with your child’s school just got easier! All NYCPS staff members now have access to Hello!, a digital tool supporting real-time, automated translation and interpretation during day-to-day conversations in the top non-English languages spoken by NYCPS families. Hello! does not replace official translation of critical communications or interpreters for scheduled meetings; to request these services, please speak with your school.
