Ps 139 Rego Park

PS 139Q emphasizes core values and personal excellence as the foundation for student achievement, while recognizing and leveraging students’ diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Their approach prioritizes thoughtful, responsible student discourse and advocacy so every student has a voice, and they frame learning within a community committed to equity and actively addressing injustice.

PS 139Q’s kindergarten admissions are handled through NYC Public Schools: families apply in MySchools.nyc (or by phone at 718-935-2009), which the school reiterates on its Kindergarten Registration page. (ps139q.com) For Fall 2026 entry (children born in 2021), the DOE timeline lists the application opening December 9, 2025, closing January 23, 2026, and offers releasing March 31, 2026. (schools.nyc.gov) After you receive and accept an offer, you pre-register with the school and complete registration forms (e.g., student registration and emergency contact forms); DOE registration documents typically include proof of age, immunization records (if available), a recent report card/transcript (if available), and two proofs of address. (ps139q.com) When seats are limited, offers follow admissions priority groups (then a lottery-style random number within a priority group); for zoned kindergarten programs, zoned applicants are prioritized ahead of non-zoned applicants. (schools.nyc.gov) After offers are released, schools may fill remaining seats from waitlists—students are automatically waitlisted for any higher-ranked choices on their application, and families can also join additional waitlists in MySchools, with waitlist order determined by priorities plus a waitlist random number and/or join timestamp.
