Kindergarten applications open Dec. 7 and the deadline is Jan. 20, 2023. The big change is that you will apply for zoned schools, unzoned programs, dual language programs AND Gifted and Talented programs ALL ON THE SAME application.

Dual Language programs provide enriched instruction in two languages (half in English, half in the program’s target language), with the goal of helping students to become bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural. Last year, access to these programs was a little random, but the DoE has changed their policy around application to these programs.

Last year you could list dual language programs as separate entries on your kindergarten application. This year you cannot.

I just got word through a parent that PS 133 (which is getting a new school building in 2012 on 4th Ave. and Butler) is getting a dual langage French/English program in one kindergarten class starting in 2011. There is going to be an open house at the school on Nov. 19 at 9am at their 211 8th St. (at 4th Ave.) location.
They will very likely have a language assessment, similar to the one at PS 58, to determine if a child can be considered a native speaker.
They are looking for a certified bilingual teacher - if you know of one, contact the Principal, Heather Foster-Mann 718-857-4810.
