Planning FOR 2022 - 2023

FROM THE DOE
NEW NYC SCHOOLS ACCOUNT (NYSCA)
​Families can now access the new NYC Schools Account (NYCSA) portal, which consolidates several important parent-facing applications in one place. In addition to seeing information for MyStudent, such as grades, attendance, and transportation, families will also be able to access Parent University and the Bullying Reporting online form. 

Parents can reset the passwords to their student’s DOE e-mail accounts through the Manage Account page; please note the change in URL from http://mystudent.nyc to 
http://schoolsaccount.nyc. Families who currently have an NYCSA account will automatically have access to new features in the portal.
DOE VACCINATION PORTAL
Please upload an image of your child’s vaccination card or NYC Excelsior Pass to the DOE’s vaccine portal at vaccine.schools.nyc. 

Submitting this information will support New York City’s pandemic response and recovery efforts, helping to ensure that our school communities remain safe and healthy.
