• February 12, 2025: A Message for Families Regarding Non-Local Law Enforcement Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos

  Dear Families,

  I am reaching out to reaffirm our commitment to you and your children. Please know that New York City Public Schools is dedicated to protecting the right of every student to attend public school, regardless of immigration status, national origin, or religion. Our policies remain the same, and I encourage you to continue to send your children to school. As you may know, New York City Public Schools does not request or track families’ immigration or asylum status. Access to students, school facilities, or records will only be provided to non-local law enforcement when required by law, and only after consultation with New York City Public Schools’ lawyers. If an officer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or other non-local law enforcement agency attempts to enter the school building or asks for information, our school staff know to contact our attorneys. Since January, we have trained thousands of staff members—including principals, parent coordinators, school safety agents, guidance counselors, social workers, and more—on our policy and procedures. We will continue to ensure our staff are informed and prepared. We are also working with community partners to provide “Know Your Rights” training sessions for families in multiple languages. For more information, visit schools.nyc.gov/ProjectOpenArms. Families with questions about federal policies can call the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365. We will continue to update our families and our school community as needed. To ensure you receive important news from New York City Public Schools, please make sure you have activated your NYC Schools Account (schools.nyc.gov/NYCSA) and that your contact information is up to date. You can also share updated contact information with your child’s school. I know how important it is that our schools are safe places for our children; school was that safe place for me when I was young. The diversity of New York City Public Schools is one of our greatest strengths, and I am committed to maintaining a community where all students can learn and thrive.

   

  In Partnership,

  Melissa Aviles-Ramos Chancellor

• Back to School Checklist.

  Get ready for the first day of school, Thursday, September 5, 2024! Here’s what to do for a great start to the school year: 

  Update your contact information.

  Don’t miss important updates from NYC Public Schools and your child’s school! You can update your information online in your NYC Schools Account (NYCSA), or complete the emergency contact form provided by your school. If you do not yet have an NYC Schools Account, visit the NYC Schools Account page.

  Visit a physician for a physical exam.

  Is your child starting school or childcare for the first time? Make sure your child receives a complete physical exam from a health care provider, documented by the Child and Adolescent Health Examination Form (CH205). Learn more and download this form at Health Requirements to Attend School.

  Review the 2024–25 NYC school calendar.

  View important dates and find printable files in multiple languages for the 2024–25 school year on the Calendar page on our website, and bookmark schools.nyc.gov/calendar to keep up with upcoming dates and events throughout the school year.

  Set a standard bedtime and morning routine before the first day of school.

  Ensure a smooth transition to the new school year by getting your children adjusted to a regular and healthy sleep schedule before September. Then, a few days before school starts, practice your family’s expected morning routine, including getting ready, eating breakfast, and traveling to your child’s school.

  We can’t wait to see you on the first day of school, Thursday, September 5 at 8:00 am.
