On behalf of the PS20 PTA, we hope the entire PS20 community is enjoying a restful and restorative summer break! For both new and returning families, please read through our Back-To-School FAQ for the 2023-24 school year — covering drop-off & pick-up information, key dates, school supply lists, etc which will continue to be updated as information becomes available and clarified. Some basic information about After School options and registration have already been posted.

We know parents are eager to learn which classes and teachers your student will be assigned to - please sit tight! The PS20 administration staff are working diligently to prepare for the coming school year, so expect updates on classroom assignments and other general updates at the start of September.

In the meantime, please review the DOE Health & Wellness information to ensure you understand the requirements for your student, as well as the variety of services and other accommodations available in-school.

New families: be sure to have registered your student and submitted all the enrollment forms!

Sincerely,

The PS20 PTA Board
