Please note that only the interior of the periphery of our zone is zoned for PS 290. Please follow all of instructions below regarding required documentation and bring your child when you come in to register so that you can receive and complete the further documentation needed for registration. Applicants will be offered seats per DOE guidelines based on their zone, district and sibling status.

WHAT IS MY ZONED SCHOOL?

Please check the zone map.  Your zoned school is determined by your official home address, not your place of employment. If you live outside of the PS 290 zone, do not use the address of a family member, friend, or employer who lives in the zone. We verify all addresses!  

 

If you don’t know your zoned school, call 311.
