Don’t miss the opportunity to provide your school with valuable feedback! Please be honest, it’s important for our school to know areas they need to improve and know areas they are doing great in.

Complete the NYC School Survey online at NYCSchoolSurvey.org or by logging into your NYC Schools Account today.

The deadline to complete the survey has been extended to Friday, April 15!

If your child is in grades K–12, you will need your child’s nine-digit student identification number, or OSIS, to begin filling out your survey online. You can find the OSIS on your student’s report card, school ID card, or on your NYC Schools Account. On the survey page, you must enter the letter f, followed by your child’s OSIS to access the survey. Note that the “f” must be lowercase (e.g. f123456789).

If your child is in 3-K or Pre-K, please contact your child’s school or program to receive your survey access code.

You can also take the survey by logging on to your NYC Schools Account.

Please fill out the survey and be honest, your feedback is valuable. ​

Every day, NYC Schools require that all students have a printed or electronic copy of a completed health screening questionnaire.

If your student has a smartphone, you can set a shortcut or bookmark to the NYCDOE health screening page: https://healthscreening.schools.nyc. To log in, use your student's DOE Student Account username and password (managed here: https://idp.nycenet.edu). You or your student can complete the form before school: just show the completed form on the phone.

Alternatively, you can download this PDF and print out the questionnaire at home to be completed and brought to school each day. 

A strong PTA is vital to our school community.  By participating in the PTA Executive board you will have an opportunity to develop and expand on the tradition of academic excellence, social and academic enrichment and community building that help make TAG a place where all of our children can thrive.
