Grades 1 to 5

Eligibility

Every child in New York City has the right to a free, appropriate, public education. To provide that, our school serves students from Pre-K to grade 5 in a variety of classroom settings.

Students with siblings who currently attend PS9 and/or who reside within our school zone receive priority for available seats.

How to Apply

The application process for students entering grades 1 to 5 is done at PS9 by our Secretary for Pupil Accounting . Applications for Pre-K and kindergarten are managed by the NYCPS Student Enrollment Division.

For the current school year,  we will accept applications May 6-June 7, 2024. Please complete the form  by going to https://forms.gle/TENkNPx1iyaEtT889  You may also contact Carol Sheldrake in our school's main office at 718.638.3260 X 1302, or call, or email Charmaine Derrell-Jacob at 718.638.3260 X 1121 Cderrell@schools.nyc.gov.

Dual Language

Dual Language Spanish - English Immersion (DL) classes are offered in every grade at PS9.  If your student is entering grades 1 through 5 and is interested in participating in this program, please make a note of that on the application.
