All students have a right to attend public school, regardless of immigration status. To inform families of this right and reassure them that their children are safe in our classrooms, the Department of Education and the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs have prepared a letter and an FAQ (click links to view). Translated copies are available HERE. Copies of this letter and FAQ were sent via email and on paper to any family that does not receive email from PS 39.

The special education process can be confusing and overwhelming. Join other PS 39 parents in a group designed to help! Families of students with IEP's, 504 plans, or families going through the referral process are invited to learn from other parents and share their own knowledge and experiences. Our first meeting will be a planning meeting to learn more about resources and supports would be helpful to parents at the school. Questions or want more information? Contact our Parent Coordinator, Karen Herskowitz (kherskowitz@ps39.org) Children born in 2013 are eligible for Pre-K in NYC for the 2017-18 school year.
