Are you new to NYC and looking for a school for your child?
You might want to visit the Department of Education’s Family Welcome Centers.
FWCs are open in all five boroughs and staffed with specialists who can help students enroll in school for the upcoming year. They are also available to current families looking to explore additional options for their child. The DOE is urging families to visit them as needed before school begins in September.
