April 4th, 2023 - NYC Department of Education Guidance on Summer Rising 2023 Enrollment for Students in Grades K-8
Dear families and staff of P.S. 211 Elm Tree Elementary School,
We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with some information and resources regarding this year’s Summer Rising Program.
As some of you may know, the NYC Department of Education has changed the enrollment/application process for the Summer Rising 2023 Program and with that there is a lot of information for our families to be aware of and digest.
Summer Rising is free and open to any NYC student currently in kindergarten through grade 8. Families can apply at nyc.gov/SummerRising between April 17 and May 1.
This year’s enrollment process will prioritize students mandated for summer school for academic reasons, Students in Temporary Housing and Students in Foster Care, students in 12-month Individualized Education Program (IEP) settings, and students with a local connection to the school-year CBO program or school community.
The program will begin July 5, and will run Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the months of July and August. Students will be provided with free breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Summer Rising will run for six weeks for all students, with a seventh week of enrichment for students in grades K–5. Learn more at nyc.gov/SummerRising.
All of this information (and more) can be found on the Summer Rising Letter to Families at the official DOE website (in all of the supported major languages) using the link below or you can download/print the PDF files which are embedded below as well (in English and Spanish):
