Dear Parents:

September 2015 admission to the Petrides School in grades 1 through 5 will be by application only. The admission filing period will be from January 26, 2015 through March 6, 2015. All Staten Island residents who will be entering grade levels 1 through 5 in September 2015 may apply for consideration in the appropriate grade. The selection of children for available seats will be made by lottery. Special education students whose IEP is consistent with the programs offered at the Petrides School, and who are otherwise eligible, may apply. Please consult with your child’s school guidance counselor if you require clarification or assistance. Applicants who are siblings of students already enrolled in the school are now required to provide sibling information on the application.

The Petrides School is a K-12 educational environment that uses a variety of innovative and proven instructional practices, including team teaching, multi-age grouping of students, looping, block programming, and heterogeneous classes. Acceptance of placement in the school is an acknowledgment that you understand and agree that your child will receive instruction within this environment. Students who are accepted are not, however, guaranteed contract yellow school bus service to the school. Transportation eligibility is determined by the Office of Pupil Transportation within the limits established in the Chancellor’s Regulations and applicable law. In addition, acceptance to the school is subject to program availability and the meeting of all eligibility requirements at the time of admission.

Attached to this letter is the application for the 2015-2016 school year. This application is to be used for applicants who will be entering grades 1 through 5 at the Petrides School. It must be returned by

March 6, 2015 to:

Applications postmarked after March 6, 2015 will not be processed. You will receive written notification of receipt of your application, the number assigned to your child’s application, and the date and location of the lottery. We expect the lottery to take place in April 2015. It is not necessary to attend the lottery for your child to be considered. Following the lottery, parents will be notified of the status of their children’s application for the coming school year.

Sincerely,
