Good morning, Falcon Families

This is the beginning of the school year and we have a lot of house cleaning to get us up and fully running, for a smooth year.

I want to first thank everyone who has reached out to me to get their creation codes for there NYCSA account. That account is extremely important for you to have, and it will save you time in the long run. You will have access to much of your child’s records, you will be able to sign required documents online as well as complete the NYC School Survey and other important information. Recently, there has been a threat of school bus workers going on strike. If the school bus service is suspended for the strike, some of you will need this account to access the resources the Department of Education has arranged for your child. If you do not have this account, which gets created with YOUR personal email address, contact me now to get assistance. Please include your child’s name and class on all communications to Ms. Becco at sbecco@schools.nyc.gov

Continue to scroll down, because there are lots of exciting events coming up this month and for some I may need your assistance. We need a few volunteers for Picture Day, you can contact the PTA regarding that. I will forward any emails that come to me. We need volunteers for the dental clinic the 10th to 13th. Please email me. Even it just a few hours on one day. It all helps.

I look forward to us working together to create the best educational environment for our students.

You will then click onto the menu option: Resetting your child’s password and then under that will be the instructions to create a pin for the account.

You will need your child’s osis number and you can get that from your child’s teacher or even the main office. Ms. Becco can give it to you also, just email her at sbecco@schools.nyc.gov.

After you’ve changed the password and created a pin, you can go back to the homepage and click onto teachhub on the top right side of the toolbar. You may or may not have to sign on again.

Remember the username is everything before the @ symbol in the email address and the password is case sensitive.

Once you get into the teachhub, you may not see much, and if that is the case, you should then click on the heading that includes your child’s grade, next to the Welcome.

You will then see a host of apps that your child may need access to, for example: Google Classroom, Zoom, Google Meet, Gmail, etc.
