The Parents & Families web page is the place where
parents and families can find timely information
and answers to commonly asked questions.
The goal of this web page is to provide relevant
and useful information for families citywide.


Parents Can Sign up for School Alerts
Sign up for a free service by visiting schools.nyc.gov or call 311.  If school opens late or dismisses early, or other unexpected events occur, you can receive an update via phone, text message, or e-mail, through Notify NYC, NYC's public notification system.


In an additional effort to communicate with our families, our school has begun using the SchoolMessenger Notification System to provide parents and staff information on such matters as attendance, general interest activities and school and city emergencies.  

Families will be notified through an automated system according to the phone number currently listed in the ATS computer system of the school.  Phone numbers submitted on Blue Emergency Contact Cards are not necessarily reflected in the ATS system.  Therefore, we are asking all families to notify the school of any changes. 

Parents/ Guardians will also have the ability to receive these notifications through email, text message, or cell phone.  If you would like to receive messages in this manner, please notify Mrs. Kennedy in writing.  She will then forward you the instructions and password for you to create and update your information.

 Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. McMahon, Parent Coordinator at (718) 836-4630.

 Thank you.



Please email our Parent Coordinator, Cynthia McMahon,
with your questions and concerns.


Clear the Air
STOP IDLING  - your vehicle idles when the engine is on but it isn't moving.  Reducing idling makes the air cleaner for your kids and will help reduce asthma symptons. The law now limits vehicle idling to no more than ONE minute adjacent to a public or private school.  Fines of $300 or more may be issued.
