Communication Policy

JCMS Family Communication Policy

ClassDojo and School Messaging are our main communication tools with families. On this platform, parents are able to receive school wide announcements, communicate with your child’s teacher directly, and monitor your child’s engagement in school. 

The GAM system will be used to record and access your child’s assignments and grades.. On this system, you will be able to see your child's grades and progress, and track your child's attendance. 

It is important that every parent set up their NYCSA (NYC Schools Account). This is where report cards can be accessed. If you need assistance setting up your account, please reach out to our parent coordinator. https://www.schoolsaccount.nyc/ 

We post many of our event flyers, student activities and important notices on Instagram and Twitter. Follow us to celebrate your child and be informed. 

Monthly events, parent newsletters, resources, and more are posted on the JCMS website. Here you can find out all about the school, its policies, and resources to support your child. 

Unless it is an emergency, please try and contact teachers during school hours. 

We pride ourselves on following up with families. Please allow 24 hours (1 business day) for a staff member to return your call/email. 

Please also be advised that our phone line in the main office can sometimes be challenging to get through. We are trying to resolve the issue. However, if you are not able to reach us through the main office number, please call our parent coordinator at (929) 692-4283.
