If you require a Face-to-Face letter, please understand that you will need to come to school and show your ID to pick up the letter. We are not able to give the letter to a student to bring home, or to another adult.
Please be aware that you have access to Face to Face letters via your NYC Schools Account (NYCSA). See the below section for information about how to get the information from your NYCSA account. If you need access to your NYCSA account, please contact our Parent Coordinator, Mrs. Williams at awilliams226@schools.nyc.gov
Use your NYCSA Account for Face-to-Face Letters:
If an agency does require proof of enrollment or proof of address, a parent/guardian can log into their New York City Schools Account (NYCSA), navigate to the “Details” dropdown and take a screenshot of the “Student” page to present as proof that the student lives at the address and a screenshot of “Enrollment” page to present as proof of their student’s current attendance/enrollment. A parent/guardian can follow the same process for proof of student enrollment required for other uses (e.g. for tax purposes). Screenshots should be supplemented by a letter on school letterhead with any additional information the parent requests.
You can view the 2025-2026 School Calendar on the DOE Website.
The Immigrant Family Empowerment Advocacy Guide is a resource guide for immigrant and multilingual families in NYC Public Schools to learn about what it means to place yourself as an active member and leader of your child's academic journey. In this guide, you will have access to knowledge about your rights as immigrant families, different ways to get involved in your child's school, and how to lead for the purpose of change in your school community. This guide aims to affirm all members of a school community as active participants in their own learning and capable of developing the skills to analyze and transform their social realities.
