Parents and Guardians:
We’ve made it easier to sign up for an NYC Schools Account (NYCSA). Setting up a basic account will allow you to get emergency notifications from the DOE.
If you have not yet created your account, you can create a basic account online from any computer, phone, or tablet. All you need to do is:
After you create your account, you will need to verify your identity and your relationship with that student. You will need an account creation code letter, contact Norma Santaliz at nsantaliz@schools.nyc.gov.
Once you verify your connection to your student you will be able to see your child’s grades, test scores, and attendance.
Congratulations to our teachers, students and families! NYS has designated PS 65 as a 2018-2019 Recognition School based on high academic achievement, student growth, and having made progress during the 2017-2018 school year.
