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. Reed at HReed2@schools.nyc.gov

Please make every effort to use your NYCSA account before reaching out to us
When requesting a letter for Face-to-Face, Medicaid, or Food Stamps, you must bring in an official document from the Human Resource Administration (HRA)
Face-to-Face, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Housing, I.R.S. or other letters certifying that your child is registered at WJPS take at least 24 hours to process.

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.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

The DOE takes the confidentiality of information about students very seriously. There are several federal and state laws, such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and New York State Education Law 2-d, and local regulations, such as Chancellor’s Regulation A-820, that protect students’ “personally identifiable information” (PII). These laws also place responsibilities on the DOE and outside parties that are given access to children’s PII, including the requirement for the DOE and schools to provide families with the following annual notices:

Annual FERPA Notification (scroll to the bottom of the page for parent letter and translations); and
Parent Bill of Rights for Data Privacy and Security.

Health Guidance and Resources for Families

If a student tests positive for COVID-19, they must isolate for at least 5 days and wear a mask for 5 days when returning to school. Please let us know if your child tests positive.
