This year the school survey will be completed online using your child’s NYCDOE OSIS (student identification number)

Chancellor Porter wants to hear your questions and feedback. In light of unprecedented investments from local, state and federal government, these forums will serve as an opportunity for the Department of Education (DOE) to hear directly from school communities on the types of resources and support they need as we move towards a full reopening in September.
Forums are in each borough on the following dates from 6:30-8:00 PM:
Chancellor Porter will be joined by Executive Superintendents and leadership from the DOE to help answer any questions families may have and facilitate a productive conversation with the community.
Families can register for the forums online at learndoe.org/chancellor(Open external link). At the time of registration, participants will be asked if they want to ask a question or provide a comment during the event about a number of categories, including health and safety, special education, fall 2021 school reopening, social emotional learning, and more.
Each forum will be recorded and posted online(Open external link) so that school communities may access them at any time. Interpretation services will be available at every forum.
Every year, all parents, teachers, students in grades 6-12 and select school support staff take the NYC School Survey. The survey helps school leaders understand what key members of their school community think about the learning environment at their school. The information captured by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn.
Families, regardless of income, are asked to complete a 2020-2021 Family Income Inquiry Form (formerly known as School Lunch Application Form) so that our school can receive additional funding. Forms submitted online are processed quickly and you will receive immediate confirmation that your form was submitted. Please retain the confirmation information.
If families qualify according to the information submitted on the Family Income Inquiry Form, their child will be entitled to:
