NYC SCHOOLS (NYCSA) ACCOUNT

You play an important role in your child’s academic success. Our goal is to give you the information you need to be an informed and active partner in your child’s education. We invite you to set up your NYC Schools Account. This is the way to view your child’s academic information, in one of ten languages on a computer, phone or tablet. In the account, you can see a child’s:

  • Attendance
  • Grades (including Report Cards, past and current)
  • Assessments (test scores)
  • Health information (Fitnessgram)
  • Schedule
  • Enrollment history

Parents and Legal Guardians are welcome to contact Parent Coordinator, Ms. Sureeta Collie-Cyrus, via email scollie2@schools.nyc.gov, if you have any concerns or questions regarding registering for your child’s NYC Schools Account.

BUSING

We do not determine ridership eligibility for students. Eligibility is done through the Office of Pupil Transportation (OPT). If your child qualifies to ride the school bus, you will be notified by OPT. Any questions regarding riding the yellow school bus should be addressed to OPT at (718) 392-8855. You also can speak to Mrs. Padmore-Brissett: CPadmoreBrissett@schools.nyc.gov.

OMNY CARDS

Students in K-2 are eligible for an OMNY card if they live more than a mile from school.

ALLERGIES 

Please read the NYC Public Schools Allergy Aware Policy. If you need to notify the school about your child’s allergies, please contact your child’s teacher directly and notify the school nurse. The nurse’s office is across the hall from the main office. 

If you would like to join a parent support group for families with food allergies, the PTO can connect you. Please reach out to pto@282parkslope.org.
