Lower School Admissions

2024 - 2025 1st through 5th Grade Admissions

In-Zone Families

We are now accepting registrations from in-zone families for available 1st through 5th grade seats.  The PS/IS 276 zone is south of Liberty Street, from the west side of Broadway to the Hudson River.

Following are the documentation requirements to register your student. Please send all completed forms and documents together in one email to our pupil accounting secretary, Sabrina Raza-Wiese, at srazawiese@schools.nyc.gov. Note: if your child has ever attended a public school in NYC, please make sure their nine-digit student ID (or OSIS) number is on every document you submit.

If you would prefer, you may print out the completed forms and documents and drop them off at the school in an envelope marked “ATTN: Sabrina - 2024 - 2025 Registration / [Child’s Name]”. Please leave the envelope with the School Safety Agent in the front lobby.
