PARENT NYC SURVEY 2024
The NYC School Surveys that are being completed and placed inside a green and white envelope needs to be postmarked no later than Friday, April 5. You also have the choice to complete your NYC School Survey by logging into your child’s NYC Schools Account, where you will not need a code. Finally, you can access your survey by going online to NYCSchoolSurvey.org and completing it in the language of your preference. Your code to complete the survey online is a lower case “f” followed by your child’s 9-digit identification number, also known as the (osis number). If you need help, you can reach out to Ms. Mendez, Parent Coordinator.
AWARDS ASSEMBLY
The March Awards Assemblies will be held sometime this month. Information will be sent home shortly regarding the awards assembly schedule. We will only be inviting parents of the students receiving Honor Roll ribbons so that we limit the number of people in the auditorium.
