Dear PS 120Q Families,

The Summer Rising application is now OPEN via https://www.myschools.nyc/en/
(This is the same admissions website that you may have used in the past to apply for kindergarten and middle school)

The Summer Rising application will be open from March 4 until March 28,2025. Please note that this application process is NOT first come first served. While students with IEP's will be given priority, enrollment is lottery based, therefore those who apply today will be given the same priority as those who apply on March 28.
Application results will be posted on the My Schools website on April 24, 2025.
New this year, families will not be automatically enrolled in the program ensuring that all registered students are active participants and to allow more students to move off the wait list as spots become available. Parent/Guardians will need to accept their seats by May 8, 2025.

What is the Summer Rising?
Summer Rising 2025 is a partnership between New York City Public Schools and the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD). Summer Rising is free and available to all NYC students in grades K-8, pending seat availability.

Monday through Thursday students will be in an academic setting with Department of Education teachers until 12pm. Throughout the afternoon students will be in a camp like setting with Maspeth Town Hall.
Students will be with Maspeth Town Hall all day on Friday’s.
