We Speak Your Language

School Food Menus

School Meals

Students attending school in person will be offered free breakfast and lunch daily in school. Click here to view monthly school food menus.

Support School Funding

You do not need to apply for your child to receive meals. However, we do ask families to complete Family Income Inquiry Form, which helps schools receive money for their programs. Your school will send a copy of this form home with your child, or you can get it from your school’s main office.

Allergies

We want to ensure that your child receives the best care possible while at school. We take allergies, food safety, and student health very seriously. We cannot guarantee a nut, milk or “allergen-free” environment, but we do have an “allergen aware” policy. Your child is less likely to be exposed to allergens at school when we work together to create a management plan for your child. Please visit our page on allergies to learn more about how we ensure that your child receives the best care possible while at school.

Download the School Food App

The app is available for Android and iOS. You can use the app to view menus and submit reviews.

Citywide Behavioral Expectations Grades K-5

Discipline Code

The Discipline Code is also known as the Citywide Behavioral Expectations to Support Student Learning. It:

Is age-specific with one set for grades K-5 and another for grades 6-12.
Explains the standards for behavior in the New York City public schools.
Describes supports, interventions, and disciplinary responses that schools can use when students demonstrate unwelcome behavior.
Explains how you can appeal decisions.
Includes the K-12 Student Bill of Rights and Responsibilities.

Ensuring that every child learns in safe, supportive, and inclusive schools is our top priority. To do this, we use preventive approaches that address the real causes of a conflict as well as reinforcing positive behaviors through teachable moments. The Discipline Code outlines the standards of behavior and the responses if these standards are not met. We encourage you to become familiar with these standards and discuss them at home.

The current version of the Discipline Code includes input from principals, teachers, safety administrators, parents, students, and advocacy groups.

Parents who want to discuss supports and interventions in response to student behavior should contact their child’s school, including the Parent Coordinator, or, if necessary, the Family Support Coordinator in your District Office. Please use our get help page for guidance about the appropriate people in your school or district to reach and for information to look up their contact information.

Discipline Code (Kindergarten-Grade 5) available in 10 different languages.

NYS Next Generation Learning Standards

What are the Next Generation Learning Standards?

The Next Generation Learning Standards are the educational goals for all of New York State’s students from prekindergarten through grade 12 in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Why were the standards revised?

The standards were revised to ensure they are appropriate for students’ grade levels and reflect what students should know and be able to do in math and ELA.

When will the Next Generation Standards be implemented?

Full implementation of the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards begins during the 2022-2023 school year for prekindergarten through grade 8. The implementation timeline can be found here.

How will the standards be assessed?

While teachers assess standards daily in their classrooms, students will also be assessed on the Next Generation Learning Standards beginning in spring of 2023 on the Grades 3-8 New York State ELA and Mathematics Assessments.

How can I learn more?

You can learn more about the Next Generation ELA and Mathematics Learning Standards by talking to your child’s teacher or visiting NYSED.gov
