Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at PS/IS 276!
We're excited to welcome our new and returning students for the first day of school on Thursday, September 4, at 8:30AM.

Class assignments for students in grades Kindergarten through 5 will be sent by email by the end of day on Tuesday September 2nd. Middle schoolers (grades 6 through 8) will receive their schedules and class assignments during an assembly on the first day of school.
Calendars

NYC Department of Education Calendars - www.schools.nyc.gov/calendar for the 2025 - 26 school year calendars for all NYC public schools.
School Supplies
Most of the supplies needed in the classrooms, from pencils and pens to paper towels, are purchased by the school in bulk. This is possible because of funding from the 276 Parent-Teacher Association.
Our Mission
The students of the Battery Park City School are competent, capable, curious, and caring individuals who discover the unique contributions they will draw upon as they become responsible members of society. Our students are lifelong learners prepared to engage in the work of creating new paradigms for an increasingly inclusive and sustainable world.
To make this vision a reality, we nurture the academic, emotional, social, and physical well-being of each child by building on their intrinsic strengths. The school community works collaboratively, ensuring that each student has a voice and is represented in the curriculum, in order to create an environment of equity and respect for all.
