At PS/IS 276, we recognize that a collaborative relationship between home and school is important for successful learning. We have a variety of ways that we communicate about school.
Teachers have email accounts and communicate with families via email. As the teachers’ primary job is to educate children, they are not expected to reply to emails during the school day. As a general policy, teachers respond to parent emails within 2 school days. A reminder note in the signature line of all teacher emails will be consistent across the school: "Please allow 2 business days for teachers to respond to your e-mail. If you do not hear back within 2 business days, please re-send e-mail."
Because teachers do not check email during the school day, we do not alter dismissal plans via email or phone call without 24 hours notice.
School-wide sources of information
Parent coordinator emails informing and reminding parents of important school-wide information.

Set up an account to apply for Pre-K, kindergarten, middle schools, and high schools.
Pre-K and kindergarten applicants do not need an Account Creation code. Rising 6th and 9th graders will need an Account Creation Code that is unique to your child and cannot be shared with others. If you have more than one students applying this year, you will get an Account Creation Code for each child. Codes are provided in a letter sent home from the NYDOE or through the school administration.
