What's Happening at P.S.53X

  • There are over 50 candidate forums, listed below, scheduled between March 3 and April 24.

    They are hosted by each school district's Presidents' Council with support from New York City Public Schools (NYCPS). They provide parents with opportunities to get to know the candidates who are seeking to represent their districts, as well as those running for Citywide councils. In addition, each forum provides attendees with a better understanding of the City's CEC election process, which we hope will encourage even more parents to consider running for seats during the next CEC election season in 2027.

  • Middle Schools Offers

    Middle school offers for New York City public schools are set to be released on Wednesday, April 9, 2025. Parents who applied for middle school can access their child's offer letter through the MySchools portal. This letter will detail the middle school offer, which is automatically accepted, and provide information about any waitlists for programs where the child is waitlisted. For those who missed the application deadline, there is still an opportunity to participate in admissions by adding their child to the waitlist. The release of these offers marks an important step in the educational journey of many students, as they transition from elementary to middle school, bringing excitement and anticipation for the new academic year ahead.
