This summer, DOE and DYCD plan to serve a record number of students through Summer Rising, a free, safe, and fun academic and enrichment program for NYC students currently in grades K-8. 

We encourage families to apply early to secure a spot at their preferred location. Enrollment is quick and easy, and it can be completed from any device with an internet connection or by contacting your school’s Parent Coordinator.

This year, families can submit one enrollment per child, so please choose your site carefully. You can enroll at any Summer Rising location with seats available for your child’s grade band (K-5 or 6-8). Many schools will be located in a different building for the summer; if you are unsure where your school will be operating Summer Rising, contact your school or view the building list posted further down on this webpage.

If your child has a 9-digit OSIS (student ID) number, make sure you have it on-hand to complete your enrollment.

New York City has enacted a series of new protections for workers who deliver restaurant orders for third-party food delivery apps.

Effective April 22, delivery workers will receive pay on a weekly basis, can choose how far they’ll travel and what routes they’ll take, receive more information about deliveries before accepting them, and be provided with a free insulated delivery bag.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) Commissioner Vilda Vera Mayuga announced the new laws, the latest milestone in a legislative effort to improve labor conditions for delivery workers.

“As a blue-collar mayor, I am committed to ensuring every worker in this city has fair, equitable, and safe working conditions,” said Adams in a statement. “Delivery workers brave difficult conditions year-round, often for meager pay, simply to do their jobs. These hard-won protections are critically important to advancing worker justice and giving the more than 65,000 delivery workers across this city the dignity they deserve.”

Many food delivery workers — also known in some neighborhoods as “deliveristas” — lost their jobs when restaurants that employed them were forced to shutter at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

To continue earning pay, they turned to app-based delivery services such as GrubHub, UberEats, Seamless, and DoorDash. The city estimates that there are currently more than 65,000 app-based food delivery workers in the five boroughs.
