News and Announcements

Reach out to your school’s parent coordinator.

Parent coordinators can provide answers to many of your school-related questions and concerns. Use the Find a School tool at schoolsearch.schools.nyc or call your child’s school to find contact information for your parent coordinator and other school staff.

Ask your parent coordinator or principal about translation and interpretation services.

Your school can provide free translation and interpretation services. Learn more from your school’s parent coordinator or principal, or visit schools.nyc.gov/hello for more information. For sign language interpretation services, please contact your school’s parent coordinator or email OSLIS@schools.nyc.gov.

Get to know your child’s teachers. 

The first parent-teacher conference/open house of the year in late September is a great opportunity to learn more about their classroom routines and curriculum!

Participate in your school's Parent Association (PA)/Parent-Teacher Association (PTA).

As a parent or guardian with a child attending the school, you’re automatically a member! PAs/PTAs play a vital role in enhancing the school experience and building a supportive community for both students and parents.

Connect with your local Community and Citywide Education Council (CCEC).

We encourage you to attend CCEC meetings to engage with educational issues in your district, share your insights, and make your voice heard.

We can’t wait to see you on the first day of school, Thursday, September 5!
