School Policies

Visitors to the school

We welcome parents and guardians to engage with our school programs and student activities. To ensure the safety of our students and staff, all visitors must adhere to our safety procedures.
As part of NYC Public Schools' Safer Access system, all visitors must adhere to the following guidelines:

Check-In Process: Upon arrival, all visitors must report to the main office, present a valid government-issued photo ID, and sign in. The ID will be verified using the Safer Access system, which helps ensure the security of our school community.
Visitor Pass: After completing check-in, visitors will receive a pass authorizing them to proceed to their designated destination. This pass must be displayed at all times while on campus.
Classroom Visits: All classroom visits require a pre-scheduled appointment with the teacher. Please contact the school office in advance to arrange your visit.
Assembly Programs: Visitors attending assemblies are not required to sign the visitor log but must follow all other safety protocols.
Unauthorized Access: Any unauthorized person on school grounds will be reported to the principal immediately.

We appreciate your cooperation with these measures, which help us maintain a secure and welcoming learning environment for all students.

Outdoor Policy

We use www.weather.com to determine the current temperature. As a guideline, if the temperature is at or below zero degrees, or a wind chill below -5 degrees, the children will stay inside. Determination of the outdoor activities will be decided by the building principal. Students will need appropriate winter clothing. Coats, hats, mittens, snow pants, and boots are necessary during the winter months because all students have recess outside on a daily basis.

Withdrawals from School

If you are moving out of town, the school office must be notified at least a day in advance so that the proper transfer records can be prepared and the child’s supplies collected. Students will be dropped from their schedules when our Registrar has received a Request for Records from another school OR when a student has been absent for fifteen (15) consecutive school days.

Releasing Students to Non-Parent/Guardian and/or Transporting Students to New Locations

No student shall be released to any non-parent/guardian or transported to a location other than the location originally designated by the parent/guardian without written permission or personal telephone contact with the parent/guardian.

Personal Belongings

The school can assume no responsibility for personal belongings brought to school by the children. Personal electronic devices (video games, iPads, etc.) are discouraged during the school day. Please do not send toys or electronic devices with your child.

Change of Address

Please notify the school of any change of address or telephone number. Make sure that the school is aware, at all times, of your correct phone number plus that of a neighbor, friend or relative to contact in the event of an emergency that might occur.
