Families Applying to Pre-K for more than one child
If you are applying to Pre-K for more than one child and want your children to attend the same school, you can apply for all children at the same time. First, create your MySchools account. Then add all your children to your MySchools dashboard. After all children have been added to the dashboard, make sure to list which children are multiples (such as twins or triplets) when submitting your application.
Tip: Pre-K admissions is not first come, first served! You can make changes to your application any time before the deadline. All applications submitted by this date are treated the same based on admissions priorities.
Enrollment priorities for Pre-K
Our school zone
Here is the current zone map. After looking at the map, it is highly recommended that you confirm your school zone by using the School Search tool at the DOE website. Or call 311.
- In NYC, priority for seat offers to a zoned school such as PS 58 is given to zoned children who have a brother or sister at our school.
- Next, seats are offered to other zoned applicants.
- In addition to residential priorities, we also offer priority based on a Diversity in Admissions program.
Diversity in admissions priorities
The diversity initiative gives priority for up to 30% of Pre-K and Kindergarten seats at our school to students who are:
- eligible for free or reduced price lunch
- live in temporary housing as described by the McKinney Vento Act
- are English Language Learners
- are residents of public housing (NYCHA)
Students in these priority categories do not need to live in our school zone. Within this group, residential priorities will be applied only if eligible applications exceed 30% of available seats.
Seat offers and wait lists
Families who apply by the deadline
If you receive a seat offer, accept (or decline) your child’s seat offer to PS 58 in MySchools by the deadline stated in your MySchools account. We will send you a welcome letter with an access code for our Operoo/School Status system. Once you create your account, all the forms will be waiting for you there. Please make sure to gather the required documents to upload into the system too.
Your child’s class placement and building location will be sent to you through Operoo/School Status in August. Remember that our school has two Pre-K sites. One Pre-K class is in our main building, two are in our Annex at 131 Union Street. Everyone has a 2 to 1 chance of a placement at our Annex.
Your child will automatically be placed on the wait lists of any schools or programs that you ranked higher than your offer. You are able to see your child’s wait list status at your MySchools account. Please understand that waitlist positions are fluid and may change if new families apply after the deadline with higher priority for enrollment.
Families who miss the deadline
Families who miss the main round application deadline can still make an application. Your child will automatically be added to our waitlist.
