Welcome to P.S. 596X! We are a New York City Public School serving students on the autism spectrum and other special needs from Pre-K through age 11.

 

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.

 

From reading, writing, math, science, social studies to social skills, technology skills, vocational skills to art, music and dance, students have a rich educational experience at school.

 

Enrichment programs such as a partnership with the Disney Organization, school chorus, salsa band, soccer club, Olympics, assembly performances, to name a few, all enhance our multitude of academic programs.

 

I encourage you to stay as involved as you can through our enriching Saturday Academy, Father’s Club, Parent Resource Club, robust PTA and SLT meetings.  Our monthly parent engagement program is a wonderful way to be part of a lesson within your child’s classroom. Don’t miss one of our monthly cultural assemblies at Truman High School!

Mr. John Siracuse, Principal
