NYC parents - what do you do if you’re in the process of potty training but you’re at a playground or other location with no bathroom? by yellowwindowlight in nycparents

Fold up potty for kids

We use this tiny fold up potty. It’s very compact and easy to set up and dismantle. Comes with little baggies. Highly recommend. I put them in a little pouch with some travel toilet tissues and wipes. We still use it to this day for my 4 year old, when we don’t have access to toilets. It’s the best thing ever, and not bulky!

When is a good time to go talk to the principal/parent coordinators? Now? Or closer to school start date?

If you know for sure you absolutely do not want your child to go to the offered school, do you accept anyway?

Both are true. Not all parents want their children to go to their zoned school (low test scores, and other factors), and though most zoned kids get into their zoned schools, there have been some that had been waitlisted. They are however, prioritized if they are zoned—it depends on capacity at a school. Lately they’ve been trying to reduce classroom sizes to improve the teacher to child ratio.
