Ps 84 Lillian Weber

PS 84 (The Lillian Weber School) emphasizes equity and access within a collaborative community, aiming to build students’ critical thinking, work ethic, and identity/responsibility through teamwork and respect for diverse cultures. Their approach is rigorous while supporting each child’s individuality and self-esteem, and it highlights inquiry-based, transdisciplinary learning (aligned with the IB Primary Years Programme) that connects arts, academics, and technology and encourages students to take action locally and globally.

PS 84’s website directs families to apply through NYC Public Schools’ centralized MySchools system: create a MySchools account, add up to 12 programs in your true preference order, and submit online, by phone (718-935-2009), or through a Family Welcome Center. (84web.org) For kindergarten for Fall 2026 (children born in 2021), NYCPS lists these key dates: application opens December 9, 2025; closes January 23, 2026; offers release March 31, 2026. (schools.nyc.gov) For 3-K and Pre-K for Fall 2026, NYCPS lists: applications open January 14, 2026; close February 27, 2026; Pre-K offers release May 12, 2026; 3-K offers release May 19, 2026. (schools.nyc.gov) After you accept an offer, registration typically requires proof of the child’s age, immunization records (if available), and two proofs of address (e.g., lease/deed/mortgage plus a recent utility or water bill). (enrollmentsupport.schools.nyc) If you miss a deadline or want to pursue another program, NYCPS waitlists (when open) are managed in MySchools and offers are made based on the same admissions priorities (and ordering within a priority group uses a waitlist random number for automatically-waitlisted students or timestamp order for families who join later); families generally have seven calendar days to accept a waitlist offer. (schools.nyc.gov) As a zoned elementary school, PS 84’s general kindergarten priority follows NYCPS’s zoned-school sequence (zoned-with-sibling, zoned, then various sibling/pre-K/district groupings, then other district, then other out-of-district), and PS 84 also offers separate Spanish and French dual language programs that must be listed separately and may have additional program-specific priorities.
