NYC Summer Rising application opens Monday: Heres how to apply – SILive.com

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. The application for New York Citys Summer Rising program available to all students in elementary and middle school will open on Monday.

The city launched the Summer Rising program last year amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, with an aim to create a bridge back to school in the 2021-2022 school year.

This summer, the city plans to expand the program to 110,000 students who will get the opportunity to engage with peers, caring adults, and their community in a wide range of experiences.

For students in grades K-5, the program will run for seven weeks in July and August. Students in grades 6-8 will be in the program for six weeks.

Additionally, this years program will offer high-quality program models, Friday sessions and optional extended hours from the city Department of Youth and Community Development. District 75 students and those with 12-month Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) will receive more inclusive programming.

Students in kindergarten through eighth grade, in both public and private schools, will be able to apply for Summer Rising.

Families are encouraged to apply early to secure a spot at their preferred location. As soon as a family completes the enrollment, they will receive a confirmation email and have a spot in the program. The sooner a family applies, the more likely they are to receive a seat at their preferred location. For best availability, families should sign up by May 22.

Enrollment is quick and easy, and it can be completed from any device with an internet connection or by contacting your schools parent coordinator.

This year, families can submit one enrollment per child, so the city Department of Education (DOE) urges families to choose their site carefully.

You can search by zip code, community-based organization, or school name and select any site that displays in the application. The building list and building map share the locations where Summer Rising programs will be held.

The application will only show sites that serve your childs grade level and still have seats available in their program. When a program is full, it will no longer display in the application, according to the DOE. This means there is no need for a waitlist or for families to rank options.

Families should email summer@schools.nyc.gov, call 311, or speak to their parent coordinator for support with Summer Rising enrollment. Families who do not have internet access or cannot access the enrollment portal should reach out to their Parent Coordinator, who can help them complete the application.
