To ensure your child stays on track and doesn't fall behind in their courses, it’s essential that students attend school every day. School starts promptly at 8:00 AM. For students who need extra academic support, homework help is available starting at 7:30 AM.

In addition, students are encouraged to get involved in clubs and activities, which take place Tuesday through Thursday from 2:20 PM to 3:20 PM. These opportunities offer a great way to engage with peers and explore interests outside of the classroom.

Consistency in attendance helps students succeed—thank you for supporting your child's education!

No School from February 17 - February 21. Student return back on February 24th.

If your New York State license or ID does not have a star or a flag on it, then you do not have a REAL ID-compliant document.

A REAL ID is a federally compliant DMV-issued driver license, learner permit, or non-driver ID that will be required to board a domestic flight (within the U.S.) or enter certain federal buildings starting in May 2025, unless you have a valid passport.

If you need any assistance with this process please reach out to Ms. Reyes
