THE WEEK
Week of July 14, 2025
This week's photos feature our P596X Retro TV Dinner fair. As part of our celebration of the 1950's, on Friday, July 11, 2025 each class designed their own Retro TV dinner to display.
The students and staff also dressed up in their finest 1950's attire. The students and staff enjoyed taking part in these fun and interactive activities as part of our summer theme: Through the Decades.
Former P596X student Joliah Ceda drew and created our school logo.
WELCOME
Welcome to P.S. 596X! We are a district 75 New York City Public School serving students on the autism spectrum and other special needs from Pre-K through age 11 in three co-located sites: 11X178, 11X153 and 11X498.
Through this website, you will be able to step into our classrooms and hallways to get an idea of the wide variety of creative programs and practices in which students participate on a daily basis.
Our commitment is to provide the highest quality, state of the art instructional programs to our students, and to offer parents workshops and activities to equip themselves with the skills to best help their child. Through hands-on learning and fun-filled opportunities, our students make tremendous gains in social skills, language, and academics.
