The NYC Kindergarten application deadline for the main round of offers for 2021- 2022 has passed. If your child was born in 2016, and you missed the deadline to apply to kindergarten, you can still add your child to waitlists online with MySchools. Though we cannot guarantee a seat offer, in most previous years, we were able to enroll all wait-listed zoned students.

You can rank up to 12 programs/schools on your application.

Please also click the button below to complete our Google form to request to register online. We will be able to contact you with instructions when registration reopens in early September.

PS 58 has two programs: Kindergarten and French Dual Language Kindergarten

We offer Kindergarten (taught in English) and French Dual Language Kindergarten (taught 50% in English and 50% in French). Families may list both programs on their application. If you add French Dual Language to your child’s application, you will need to indicate how well your child speaks French.

French fluency verification

If you indicate that your child speaks French “very well” on your French KDLP application, we will contact you if a seat becomes available and we will make an appointment for the French fluency verification with one of our teachers.

The assessment is best described as a 15-minute conversation in French! .

Enrollment Priorities

1. In NYC, priority for seat offers is given to zoned children who have a brother or sister at our school. Make sure to have your current PS 58 child’s 9-digit student ID when you make your application for your new Kindergartner. You can find it in your NYCSA.
2. Next, seats are offered to zoned children. At PS 58, we usually fill all K seats with children from these two groups, but if we have a reduced number of zoned applicants due to families moving away in response to the pandemic, that may change. Please understand that we cannot predict whether there will be seats available for out of zone families.

There is an additional priority for our Dual Language program for English Language Learners (children who speak French but little or no English). Zoning priorities still apply. For a complete list of enrollment priorities, visit the DOE  Kindergarten Admissions website.

Seat Offers and Wait Lists

Your child is automatically placed on the wait list of all schools and programs that you ranked higher than your offered school. You will be able to see your child’s wait list status at your MySchools account. Please be aware that waitlists are fluid and will change if families with a higher priority apply (see Enrollment Priorities above).

Changes to our zone have been proposed for September 2022

New students entering our school in September 2022 will be affected by changes to zoning and admissions policies. Please read this post on the rezoning for the approved changes to the zone and admissions policies.
