Important Information Regarding NX Grades

Dear SFE Families,

Students that received NX grades for the spring and summer semesters of the 2019-2020 school year must complete the necessary work to have those grades converted into their final official grades. Time is running out for students to complete this work, but there is still time available. Please watch the video further down on this page containing more detailed important information regarding NX grades.

NYC Schools Account (NYCSA)

Parents and Guardians: The New York City Department of Education had 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.

You can create a basic account online from any computer, phone, or tablet. All you need to do is:

Go to https://mystudent.nyc/saa/signup
Set up the account by:
- Entering your name and email address,
- creating a password, and
- answering a few brief security questions so you can reset the password if you forget it.

After you create your account, you will be able to link students to your account. You will need to verify your identity and your relationship with that student. You can do that by contacting the school. Once your information is confirmed, you will be able to see your child’s grades, test scores, and attendance.

Student Meals

Students! Just because you are learning remotely does not mean you can not enjoy a nutritious school meal. Free breakfast and lunch are served daily between 9 am and 12 pm for remote learners here at the Morris Campus. Meals may be picked up at the campus front door.

A bowl filled with cereal and milk. A paper bag lunch with an apple and milk container.

Guidance for Inclement Weather Days

As we head into winter, we will have inclement weather that would cause all schools to close for teaching and learning in an ordinary year. This year, if a snowstorm or other weather demands that school buildings close, all schools will still conduct remote learning on that day. All students will be expected to log on and engage with their work from home the same as when they learn remotely. Middle and high school students who are already learning remotely every day are expected to attend school remotely, regardless of the weather.
