More about St. Lukes Extended Day After School:  

A few notes about St. Lukes Program. It begins on the First Day of School (9/9/15). They have a 5-Day a week option and a 2-Day a week

option. They are also planning on having half-day and full-day “camps” which don’t require a long-term commitment for those pesky school days that don’t jive with your work schedule. All about St. Luke program is

available here and more here. You can always email us here.

ARIS Replacement: NYC Schools Account

The DOE has just launched a new online account system so parents can access student data. Parents will  be able to review recent attendance, report card grades, and contact information in one of ten languages from any internet-ready device. Additional information, including students’ test scores, will be added to NYC Schools accounts in August.

To create an account: An NYC Schools account can be created for the parent or guardian who resides with a student and has primary access to the student’s academic and biographical records. 

Step 1: Visit your child’s school, or schedule an appointment to create an account. When setting up an account, be sure to bring:

  • A valid photo ID:
    • Passport
    • Driver’s license, State ID, or permit;
    • IDNYC
  • Your child’s 9-digit NYC student ID number (you can find this on your child’s academic records, including a report card). If you do not have your child’s ID number, ask your school.
  • A valid email address. Register for a free email address using Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo.

Step 2: Sign into your NYC Schools account from a computer, phone, or tablet by visiting:http://schools.nyc.gov/myaccount.

On the NYC Schools login page, enter your email address and temporary password. Follow the directions printed on your “NYC Schools Account Confirmation Receipt”. Your NYC Schools account will walk you through the account set up.
