  • Enrollment for the EFNY French after-school program at PS20 for 2024-25 is at capacity and now closed. To express future interest or enter the waiting list, please email Kiritin Clausen at efnyps20@gmail.com
    --
    We opened the application on July 10th, and the classes filled up in less than two hours. We sent an email to those who had expressed interest in the program. Unfortunately, due to limited space at PS 20, we weren’t able to secure additional classrooms this year, so we couldn't accommodate more children. Because of this, we couldn’t widely promote the program, knowing there wouldn’t be any new spots available. However, the program is still active, and we remain hopeful for future growth.

  • Have you checked your child's backpack or homework folder lately? Back in December, they tucked away an exciting surprise there - paper forms and consent slips for all 4th and 5th graders, introducing PS20's newest and thrilling initiative - an amazing opportunity for 4th and 5th graders to join a debate club!

    Led by PS20 dedicated and talented teachers, the club meets each Thursday from 2:50 pm to 3:50 pm. It's a fantastic chance for your child to engage, learn, and grow through the art of debating. If this sounds like something your child would love, please contact Ms. Colon (KColon3@schools.nyc.gov) as soon as possible for more details and to check if there's still a spot open.
