We are very excited to announce that after meeting with Sereida Rodriguez, the new principal of P.S. 84, we got the green light to debut a French-English dual language program in Fall 2011!
As of right now, the program will start at the Kindergarten level in Fall 2011, with a possibility for a 1st grade level class.
We are in discussions with Principal Rodriguez and the French Embassy to begin integrating special French cultural events into the curriculum and possibly after school beginning in Fall 2010. This way we can start to introduce the idea throughout next year leading up to the kickoff of the official program in Fall 2011.
We know it is late in the year to get the official word on this, but it is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED that any and all parents with children entering K in 2011 (and committed to being involved in the French-English program in Fall 2011) apply to join the Pre-K class at P.S. 84 for Fall 2010. The application process just began last week, so there is still plenty of time. The deadline is April 9th. In addition to the fact that the school already has a highly respected Pre-K program, it is very important for parents to show a genuine commitment to joining the school now.
Below is the link for the NYS Pre-K Admissions online form. Just follow the directions to apply for P.S. 84 The Jose De Diego School in District 14 Brooklyn. It is a magnet school, so everyone from all 5 boroughs are welcome to join the school -- one does NOT need to be zoned for this school to join:

We are incredibly enthusiastic about this development and look forward to working with Principal Rodriguez.
Just a quick note to say that this group looks awesome and I look forward to meeting some of you soon. If you know of anyone who wants to learn French, please send them my way! My classes are fun and extremely affordable and held right here in Williamsburg.
Merci et Bonne Année à tous -

my son will be entering K in 2011.
so I am looking for a Prek school and will like to check PS 84
I was actually thinking of getting a french play group together in the hood with a french teacher but I couldn't figure out where to do it. My daughter is 3 as well.
Any suggestions?
I think it's a great idea!

If you're interested, post a note here or send me one at jennifer.barrett@gmail.com. Thx!
What about putting it at PS 84? I understand they have extra space, they definitely have a great location and facilities, and there is already a bilingual spanish program there, so there is a real opportunity to create a very international school environment.
