Family Income Inquiry Form - Please complete today!
Please complete your Family Income Inquiry Form online today at myschoolapps.com. Our school is listed as 20K102. This form is used across the state to determine if your child qualifies for free or reduced price lunch. In the last several years, all NYC DOE schools have qualified for universal free lunch. The form is also used to determine Federal Title I funding. We did not qualify for the Title I funding for the 2024/2025 school year. Completion of this form determines our funding for the 2025/2026 school year.
You only need to complete one form per family for all children in NYC Public Schools. We ask for 100% of our families to complete the form so that we have a chance to qualify for next year. It is almost one million dollars in funding. Please include all financial information and add all family members living in the household. If you have a high income and are sure you would not qualify - please complete the form anyway - you have an option to check off that you do not qualify/will not be providing financial information. If you are receiving food stamps or state benefits you do not need to complete the form. If you have any questions on this form, please contact Ms. Sheri at melliotsheri@schools.nyc.gov. Thanks!
Every Student Every Day
Please refer to the NYCPS 2024/2025 calendar when making travel plans for this upcoming school year. We look forward to welcoming Every Student Every Day!
We are happy to report that we made a big improvement in our attendance this past year - from 92% to 94% for the year. Our chronic absenteeism went down from 22% (22/23 school year) to 18% (23/24 school year) and our goal is to reach pre-covid levels of 96% attendance with less than 14% chronic absenteeism for the upcoming school year!
