THE WEEK
Week of June 14, 2021
This week's photos feature graduation cap and gown picture day at our 178 site.
On Monday, June 14th, and Tuesday, June 15th our school held our Caps/Gown Graduation Picture Event. We had a fantastic turn out and all of us felt a sense of JOY seeing our families and students celebrating together. Our Parent Association provided gift buckets filled with goodies and bags of special graduation pencils and pins. Students and their families also enjoyed refreshments and music during the event.
WELCOME
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.
