As a reminder the 2021 NYC School Survey administration window is May 10 to June 11.
Online survey: Families should enter “f” followed by their child’s nine-digit Student Identification (OSIS) Number to access the survey. Note that “f” must be lowercase. Families can find their child’s Student Identification Number on their report card, student ID card, or New York City Schools Account (NYCSA).

After completing the school survey please label the class. Please print or send a copy of the receipt to your child’s teacher the receipt should said: “Thanks for taking our survey!”
