Message from the Department of Education:
Parents Can Sign Up for School Alerts
 
It's easier than ever to stay updated about events affecting your child's school.  If school opens late or dismisses early, or if it relocates or closes temporarily because of bad weather or other unexpected events, you can now receive an update in real-time via phone, text message, or e-mail.  Families can sign up to receive school updates for up to five specific aip codes through Notify NYC, the City's public notification system.  To sign up for the free service, click here or call 311. 

A New Way to Learn English on TV
We Are New York is a half-hour TV show for people learning english.  You will see stories of hope, love, family and friends.  And you will learn the english you need to make it in New York City.
