NYC Gifted and Talented Program and Testing


Still No Placement Offers Letter or Email Notification for NYC Gifted and Talented

If you have questions or comments about this blog, please email me at skipper646@gmail.com.

Well, I checked the DOE NYC public schools site and it indicates placement offer letters for the NYC Gifted and Talented program for kindergarten and first grade were due out today. We have yet to receive our email notification so maybe it’ll come out later tonight? It looks like registration is suppose to take place from June 19 to June 26 which really doesn’t give people much time to prepare if there has yet to be any communication from the DOE regarding the placement letters for the NYC gifted and talented program. I emailed the DOE this afternoon around 2pm but have yet  to hear back. Considering it’s almost 6:30pm now I doubt I’ll receive any response until Monday.

I also logged into the site where we selected the order of preference of Gifted and Talented schools in district 2 for NYC public schools. There were no updates on the site so I guess it’s a waiting game at this point in time to see what’s next.

If you’re interested, here’s the link with the schedule of when everything is to take place.

Believe it our not, the NYC Public Schools web site has INVALUABLE information on school ratings, guides for parents, parents feedback, teachers ratings for NYC public schools. I had to poke around quite a bit on the NYC Public Schools web site to find the information but found school by school guides for each school in the NYC Public School system on various topics.

Touring of the schools completed…decision made for NYC Gifted and Talented Program

We finished the touring of the gifted and talented program schools for NYC public schools here in District 2 in Manhattan. Overall, we were pleased with the ones we visited and our #1 choice was quite a surprise to both my wife and myself. We selected Chelsea Prep P.S. 33 who is run under the principal Linore Lindy. We didn’t get to visit all the schools in District 2 for NYC Public Schools Gifted and Talented Program because some we were just not interested in due to location and also some friends of our visited other schools so we got an update.
