Beacon After School Application Window - Open Now until July 30



Beacon is a free, DYCD-funded after school program hosted in our school but space is limited and slots are filled via lottery. Their program runs through the entire school year - starting on Monday, September 16, and ending June 13, 2025. 


They serve grades K-5 and only PS 198 and PS 77 students. 


Their program is daily on Mondays-Fridays from 2:30-6 p.m. with their dismissal beginning at 5:30 p.m. each day.  They require that students attend at least 4 out of 5 days per week and stay for the duration of the program daily to meet DYCD attendance policies. 


The registration window for Beacon begins TODAY, 7/22/24; and the deadline to apply for this year’s lottery will be next Tuesday, 7/30/24. A new application is needed every year for all interested families and it must be filled out in full as they cannot accept incomplete applications. 

  • Please find the application form below.

  • Completed applications can be scanned and e-mailed to Beacon198@goddard.org or yperez@goddard.org 

  • For a paper copy of the application, you may pick it up and/or drop it off at the Beacon Office (Room 107) at the PS 6 Summer Rising site, located at 45 E 81st St. between Park Ave. and Madison Ave. 

  • If anyone should need help with your application to scan, print, etc. you can e-mail our Parent Coordinator, Raychel, at rmanko@schools.nyc.gov to set up an appointment for assistance in the PS 198 office. 

  • Beacon staff will send out results of the lottery to confirm whether or not families have a spot by mid-August.

  • Families may continue to submit applications after July to be added to a waitlist for their child’s grade. If there is availability remaining, Beacon will reach out to families on the waitlist to communicate if they can offer a seat.

 

If you have Beacon-specific questions, please e-mail director, Maribel Mejia at mmejia@isaacscenter.org or assistant Director, Yvette Perez at yperez@goddard.org.
