Message from the Department of Education: Parents Can Sign up for School Alerts

It's easier than ever to stay updated about events affecting your child's school. If school opens late or dismisses early, or if it relocates or closes temporarily because of bad weather or other unexpected events, you can now receive an update in real-time via phone, text message, or e-mail. Families can sign up to receive school updates for up to five specific zip codes through Notify NYC, the City's public notification system.
