Welcome to Public School 5. It is my hope that your next six years at P.S. 5, The Huguenot School, will be filled with rewarding experiences and provide happy memories for you and your child. As you know, P.S. 5 has been designated a National Blue Ribbon School, and we have high expectations for all our students. This is why collaboration between parents and staff is essential.

Your child has been registered as an incoming kindergarten student for September 2024. As a kindergarten parent, it is highly recommended that you attend our Kindergarten Welcome Breakfast on Monday, September 9th at 9 a.m. A great deal of information will be shared with you, and you will also have the opportunity to become familiar with the school staff and PTA at P.S. 5. Kindly try to arrange for child care as there is a lot of important information given on this day. If you cannot attend, please ensure that someone you trust attends in your place to share this information Kindergarten Welcome Letter 2024.docx with you.

I look forward to seeing all of you at the breakfast.

I thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Arcuri

Principal

Dear Kindergarten families,

Because your child is a Kindergartener in the NYC Public School system s/he is now enrolled in the Save for College Program. The next step is for you as the parent/guardian to activate your child’s NYC Scholarship account and see the funds that have been allocated for their educational future.

Their NYC Scholarship Account has an initial allocation of $100 and you can increase these funds by an additional $25 reward for activating and viewing their account. We are reaching out to all participating families at P.S. 5 because we want to make sure every family at our school is taking advantage of the opportunity!
